Lovely

I make a similar pear dish but I use peppercorns, vanilla pods, bay leaves and brown sugar i addition toy some of your base ingredients.
I poach the green/semi ripe pears (quatered) for about half an hour, then bottle them and leave them for at least a month or two to mature fully.
When I make the next batch I will publish the recipe so everyone can enjoy it.
Thank you very much!
Cheers
