You can use a yellow lemon instead of lime.
To make his recipe, the chef uses William pears. But he specifies that you can also use other varieties, such as Passe-Crassane for example.
The cooking time depends on the variety of pears, but also on their ripeness. If they are still a little firm, it will take longer. Check the cooking with the tip of a knife.
Hygiene is essential, reminds the chef! Sterilizing the jars is important.Do it at the last minute to avoid contamination“, he specifies.
You can flavor the syrup with cinnamon, peppercorns, star anise or even cloves.
You can keep your jars of pears in syrup for between 10 and 12 months, in a cool, dry place (at around 6°C). Once the jars are opened, the pears can be kept in the fridge for 4 to 5 days without any problem.
