Cooking tips

Oven Tips : With conventional ovens, minimize the preheating time. Unless you're baking breads or pastries, you may not even need to preheat.

Try Organic Food : Organically-grown food costs more, but you get what you pay for. It is 2-10 times richer in minerals, contains no pesticides, and tastes better. It is better for you, your planet, and your palate. Wild unhybridized food is what your body was designed for, before our ancestors started messing with Mother Nature. Take it easy with highly hybridized fruits (bananas, seedless anything) and vegetables (carrots, beets, white potatoes).

Ingredients And Procedures

14 lb Pear

1 qt Cider vinegar

6 lb Sugar

1 t Cloves, whole

1 t Cinnamon, stick

Any good preserving pear may be used. Slice and remove core or pickle whole; the latter method is preferred when Sickel pears are used. Peel pears. Put spices in a small cheese cloth bag and add to the vinegar and sugar and bring to a boil. Add pears and cook until tender. The pears will look clear when tender. Remove them with a spoon and place them in sterilized jars. Boil the syrup until it becomes thick, the pour it over pears and seal.
