As I was searching for recipes to make with my Asian pears, I came across this recipe through my coworkers. Normally she would make spiced blueberries but suggested that I try this with some Asian pears. Well it was a hit with my family and goes great with so many dishes. Think of chutney. Slightly sour and sweet and very spiced.

For this recipe, I used a lot of whole spices: cinnamon sticks, allspice, and cloves.

Peel the pears and chop them into bite sized pieces.

The main liquid to this is sugary vinegar.

Boil the sugar, vinegar and spices together.

Pour the hot liquid over the pears. I did not can these the way it was in the original recipe and I still thought it worked out great. Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature until the liquid is cooled. Then place it in the fridge over night. It was already flavorful only 2 hours later but it tasted much stronger the longer you waited.

Enjoy this with some turkey or pork or on top of some brie cheese.
