Pickled spiced pears
You can serve these pears at Christmas with slices of strong blue cheese as a starter or a cheese course.The lovely thing with this recipe is that you don’t have to wait for months. They should be left in a cool dark place for a week before you dive in. They will keep for at least 3 months as long as they are somewhere cool and dark, a garage or shed would be ideal. Once you’ve opened the jar, keep stored in the fridge.TOP TIP Use a clean fork or spoon to remove the pears from the jar to stop contamination which means they will keep for a lot longer.
