Ingredients

• 3 medium ripe pears
• 2 cups water
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 1 inch piece, peeled and sliced thinly fresh ginger
• 2.5 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 cup pear juice (or white grape juice)
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
• 1 cup whipped cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Peel, core, and dice the pears into small chunks.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the water, granulated sugar, and fresh ginger slices. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and simmer the ginger syrup for 5 minutes. Remove the ginger slices and discard them.

Step 4

Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup of the pear juice in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.

Step 5

Add the diced pears to the ginger syrup and cook for 3-4 minutes, just until the pears soften slightly but hold their shape.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.

Step 7

Stir in the remaining 3/4 cup of pear juice and the lemon juice. Allow the mixture to cool for 10-15 minutes.

Step 8

Pour the mixture into individual serving dishes or a single 8x8-inch dish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.

Step 9

When ready to serve, garnish with ground cinnamon and a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
