This time of the year is all about gift giving and celebrations, it is also a time to be thankful and to bring special cheer to our beloved and the special people that we care. And a gift crafted with your own hands in my opinion is one of my favorite presents to receive during Christmas and the holiday time. That is why today I want to share with your a very simple recipe using seasonal fruit and rum, here are the ingredients to prepare Vanilla Rum Pears:

INGREDIENTS

8 Bosc pears
3 cups of sugar on the raw
1 1/2 cups of vanilla rum
2 cups of water
2 cinnamon sticks
5 whole cloves
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
4 mason jars (16 ounces each)

Preparation time: 45 minutes. Cost per jar is approximately $2.50 each depending on the cost of the ingredients at your local supermarket. For preparing the Vanilla Rum Pears you will need a saucepan, a deep pan, a set of tongs, a knife and a chopping block.

Start by cleaning the Bosc pears with running water, do not peel but leave the stem. Remove the seeds and the core with a knife and cut lengthwise in quarters. In a saucepan place the pears and add the ingredients on the order of the ingredients list. Cook the pears for 15 to 20 minutes until having a light syrup.
