A lovely spicy pear side dish, perfect for winter pears and so easy to make. Goes great with roasted or grilled meats.

- 2 pieces of cinnamon sticks (two inches) shopping list
- 2 pieces of crystallized ginger, coarsely chopped shopping list
How to make it
- Mix all the ingredients except currants, cinnamon sticks and crystallized ginger in a medium saucepan.
- Simmer uncovered for 45 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Pears will remain crunchy.
- Add currents and simmer 15 minutes more, partially covered.
- Add cinnamon sticks and ginger pieces and refrigerate until ready to serve.
