Step by Step Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the pears. Peel the pears carefully, keeping the stalk and pour the lemon juice over them. Set the pears aside.
- Step 2: Place the sugar, the water, the wine, the juice of 1 lemon, the spices and the ginger in a saucepan and boil. As soon as the syrup boils, arrange the pears carefully in the saucepan. Lower the heat and cook for approximately 30 minutes, until soft but not to a pulp.
