Time 1h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup water
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 lemons, rind of, finely grated
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 -3 tablespoons finely diced candied ginger, finely diced
6 medium pears, firm
1/3 cup orange marmalade
2 tablespoons rum or 2 tablespoons Bourbon

Steps:

  • Use a saucepan that has a cover and is large enough to hold the pears upright in a single layer.
  • Place the water, sugar, rind, and juice in the saucepan and stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil; stir in the ginger and set aside.
  • With a vegetable peeler, peel the pears; if necessary, trim the bottoms a bit so they will stand upright.
  • Place the pears in the syrup, cover, and cook over medium heat; baste the pears frequently (a ladle is handy for this since the ginger might get stuck in a bulb baster).
  • Do not over cook; test with a cake tester or toothpick; when they pierce easily they are done; start testing after 20 minutes.
  • When the pears are just tender, transfer them with a slotted spoon to a shallow bowl.
  • Add the marmalade to the syrup and let boil for 5 minutes.
  • Then add in the cognac, and pour the hot sauce over the pears.
  • With a ladle or large spoon baste occasionally until cool; cover and refrigerate.
  • Serve each pear standing upright in a compote or dessert bowl, with several spoonfuls of the syrup.

These pears were delicious! The ginger syrup was perfectly balanced, and the pears were cooked to perfection. I served them with a dollop of Greek yogurt, and it was the perfect healthy dessert.

These pears were a bit too tart for my taste. I think I'll try using a different type of pear next time.

These pears were a bit bland. I think I'll try adding some spices next time, like cinnamon or nutmeg.

These pears were delicious! I used Anjou pears, and they held their shape really well. The ginger syrup was also perfect, not too sweet and not too spicy.

These pears were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

These ginger pears were a disappointment. The pears were mushy, and the ginger flavor was barely there. I won't be making these again.

Not bad, but not great. The pears were a bit too tart for my taste, and the ginger flavor was a bit too strong. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
