1
Prepare the Syrup
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar with 1 cup of water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
2
Cook the Pears
Peel and halve the ripe pears, removing the core. Once the syrup is boiling, add the pears and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for about 15 minutes or until the pears are tender.
3
Add Liquor
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1 cup of your chosen liquor. Allow the pears to cool in the syrup.
4
Marinate
Cover the pears and let them marinate in the syrup for at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator for best flavor.
