Poires Cuites Cooked Pears

Peel your pears, cut them in two, seed them, and cover them with water.

You need half a liter of water for two pounds of pears, and four hundred grams of sugar.

Let them cook until the pears become transparent, then let them cool.

2 cups water, 2 lbs. pears, 1 3/4 cups sugar. Barely simmer.

That’s it
