Pears in syrup, or preserved pears, are always nice to have on hand! I have a pear tree in my garden with an old variety of cooking pears—delicious! But you can actually make this recipe with any type of pear. The cooking time will just be a bit more or less.

I make the syrup from water and cane sugar with cinnamon, lemon, and vanilla, but you can adjust this to your taste. I store the pears in canning jars so I always have them on hand for a delicious pear tart or as a topping for yogurt with granola.

Peel the pears or leave part of the skin on for a rustic look. Halve them or leave them whole and remove the core with a melon baller.
