Pickled pears in a glass jar

Pickled Pears

Pickled pears offer a sophisticated blend of sweet, tart, and spiced flavors, making them a delightful treat in many cuisines. They are often served as a unique dessert, an accompaniment to cheeses, or a topping for roasted meats. The pickling process enhances the pears' natural sweetness while adding depth from cinnamon and cloves. Pro tip: For a softer texture, blanch the pears in hot water for 30 seconds before pickling!

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Wash and peel the pears. Core them and cut into quarters or slices.

    2

    In a saucepan, combine the vinegar, water, salt, and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and salt have dissolved completely.

    3

    Arrange the pear slices in a clean glass jar, layering them with the cinnamon stick, cloves, black peppercorns, bay leaves, and red chili flakes.

    4

    Pour the hot brine over the pears, making sure they are fully submerged.

    5

    Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving.

    6

    The pickled pears will develop a richer flavor over time. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
