Ingredients

parchment paper 4 pears, ripe but firm 3 ½ cups orange juice 3 cups water ¼ teaspoon ground cloves ¼ teaspoon ground ginger 1 cinnamon stick

Instructions

1. Cut parchment paper in a circle to fit just inside the saucepan you are using. Peel and core the pears by digging into them from the bottom with a small melon baller.

2. In a saucepan, combine orange juice, water, cloves, ginger, and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil.

3. Place pears in the liquid and reduce to a simmer, covering the top of the liquid with the cut parchment paper.

4. Simmer for 30 minutes, rotating the pears halfway through if they are not completely covered with the liquid.

5. Remove pears and set aside. Bring liquid back to a boil, then lower heat to simmer until mixture reduces to a thick liquid.

6. Remove cinnamon stick and pour syrup over pears.

7. Store in refrigerator. Serve chilled.
