Ingredients
600grams– 1 1/3 lbs. small cooking pearsI used Crystal pears
7tbspgranulated sugar
Instructions
Wash the pears and put them in a big enough pot.
Cover them with cold water and put the pot on the stove. Bring it to a boil and simmer until the pears are soft, but not mushy.
When ready, take them out one by one and immediately pour the sugar over them. Make sure the pears are still hot when you do this, as you want the sugar to partially melt to create a delicious syrup.
