Another Family Secret

I'm not a big fan of "canning". Oh, I've done my fair share, but honestly? There isn't much that I can't freeze that I want to "put up". Plus, canning is kinda a PITA.

At least that's my humble opinion.

Well, except for one thing.

Pears.

I absolutely adore canned cinnamon pears.

But......I'm just too lazy to do them.

Doesn't mean I have to give up that treat altogether.

Here's a secret for store-bought canned pears that will leave you, and your family wondering just how you did that!

Purchase a couple of big cans of "reputable" pears. Drain off the juice into a small sauce pan. Add a cinnamon stick. Boil. Not for a terribly long time. Just long enough to get that flavor through-out the juice.

Pour juice back over the pears. Remove the cinnamon stick. Chill in the fridge.

Seriously. They taste like "Put-up Fresh Cinnamon Pears".

**Oh, and at Christmas you can you those "red hots" and just leave them in the juice. Very pretty served in a glass bowl.

A wonderful treat.
