Pear Ginger.

Use winter pears for preference. Allow 3/4lb. sugar to 11lb. of fruit, ½lb. of preserved ginger, and two lemons to six pounds of fruit. Cut the pears into pieces, sprinkle half the sugar over them, and leave overnight; next day add the ginger (cut small), shredded lemon, and the remainder of the sugar. Boil for two hours, or until fruit looks clear.
