Pears Spices

Baking dish

Take some small sickle pears, wash them and put them whole into a deep dish. Sprinkle each one with a pinch of sugar, a pinch of cinnamon and a pinch of cloves.

Cover the bottom of your dish with an inch of cold water, and set in a hot oven to simmer. This usually takes 3 hours. If the water dries off, add a little more.

They are done when soft. Serve with cream or milk.

You can also use hard, green cooking pears, but these must be peeled.
