Cut the fruit into quarters or thick wedges and cook them in a simple syrup, maybe adding a spice or two, until the fruit softens. Then let it stand for a while to develop flavor. You can eat it as is, or over ice cream or yogurt or sponge cake; or add it to oatmeal or granola.
How do you keep canned pears from turning brown?
Place peeled and sliced pears into an citric acid solution. This commercial product prevents browning. Follow the directions on the package, or use a lemon juice and water mixture instead. I prefer the lemon juice option, just because I usually have lemon juice on hand.
