    Altered this a tad...I used canned pears (yeah I'm lazy), then I added powdered cloves, cinnamon and star anise extract (a few drops), left out the honey (allergic) and lemon...love these flavours together and my guests loved them as well. :) - 1/28/10

    I tried this using using ECLECTICCHEF's alterations (since I was short of time, and didn't have the opportunity to be peeling pears), and it was pretty darn good. I did use the honey and lemon, though. Awesome recipe idea, thanks! - 7/16/14
