Description

Directions

• Peel pears and place into a large pot so that they fit snugly. Fill pot with water until it just submerges the pears.
• Mix in honey, sugar, orange zest, lemon zest, cinnamon sticks, nutmeg, and allspice. Split the vanilla bean and scrape the seeds out, placing them and the bean in the liquid.
• Bring pot to a boil and quickly reduce to a simmer. Add the teabag into the pot and let simmer for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, remove teabag and stir pot. Let simmer for another 10-15 minutes or until pears are easily pierced with a fork.
• Add cranberries and cook until they burst and soften. 
• Remove from heat and transfer content to a large bowl. Let cool and serve. Pears will last up to 3 days. Enjoy!
