Method of making honey pears
Wash pears and cut them in half. Peel, tails and seeds. In order for the pears not to darken, fill them with boiled water, after adding lemon juice to it.
Pound spices in the mortar. Pour wine vinegar and honey into the pan, add sugar. Boil, stirring constantly, over low heat until sugar is completely dissolved.
Pour the acidified water with the pears into another pan (the water should barely cover the fruit). Boil for about 5 minutes, then remove the pears and dry.
Wash the jars and turn them upside down to drain the water. Place on a baking sheet and heat in the oven. Put the pears in the cooled jars.
Add the spices to the honey vinegar marinade and bring to a boil. Hot marinade pour pears, carefully close the jars and cool.
