  1. Measure the pears, sugars, zest, lemon juice, and both gingers into a heavy saucepan.

  3. Cool, cover and refrigerate. Keeps for 2 weeks.

Great with crackers, toast and muffins. A nice complement to cheeses or alongside smoky grilled pork chops or roasted ham.

We leave the skin on yellow varieties of pears for their color.
