Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 large firm pears (bosc), peeled and cored
3/4 c granulated sugar
1 1/2 c water
1 cinnamon stick (about 3 inches in length)
1 lemon, grated zest of

Steps:

  • 1. Place pears in saucepan with all the remaining ingredients, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook 10 to 15 minutes or until the pears are very soft but still hold their shape.
  • 2. Remove from heat and let cool a little.
  • 3. Serve warm or at room temperature with some of the cooking sauce. NOTE: For a birthday celebration, I served these with the pears whole (which I peeled but didn't core, and I cooked them whole). It provided only 2 servings though. But you can cut the pears in half, remove the core, and you'll get double the servings.
