How to make it

  • Mode: Peel and cut the pears into any form that may be preferred, and steep them in cold water to prevent them turning black; put them into a saucepan with sufficient cold water to cover them, and boil them with the butter and enough sugar to sweeten them nicely, until tender; then brush the pears over with the yolk of an egg, sprinkle them with sifted sugar, and arrange them on a dish. Add the gelatin to the syrup, boil it up quickly for about 5 minutes, strain it over the pears, and let it remain until set. The syrup may be colored with a little prepared cochineal [red food coloring], which would very much improve the appearance of the dish.
