My proportions are a bit different since I had more pears to use than the 4 cups, but still, it's delicious!!<BR/><BR/>One tip though, if you're using fresh ginger like I did... make sure you're actually cutting the ginger into tiny pieces. I just grated it and it looks like, uh, I have cat hair floating in it. Ginger makes really long strands in a grater. :0Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30711036.post-30205424983109784162008-10-22T14:34:00.000-07:002008-10-22T14:34:00.000-07:00I was just wondering if you peeled the pears or le...I was just wondering if you peeled the pears or left the skins on for this delicious looking recipe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30711036.post-4226182834615539312008-09-27T09:28:00.000-07:002008-09-27T09:28:00.000-07:00Thanks for the recipe!

Using candied ginger seems like a bit of a waste of time -- after all you're candying it while you make the jam so why not use all fresh ingredients?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30711036.post-70173983989898337062006-11-06T18:06:00.000-08:002006-11-06T18:06:00.000-08:00Tammie - What a choice to have to make - jam or wi...Tammie - What a choice to have to make - jam or wine. The jam is lovely, but I've never had pear wine, it sounds great. Do you make it like you do the apple wine?<br /><br />I hope your father-in-law likes the tiramisu! One thing I forgot to mention is that I dipped the ladyfingers into the coffee mixture individually rather than drizzling it over them (I wanted them to be uniformly soft).Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034794313638177847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30711036.post-81483836475026909362006-11-06T05:01:00.000-08:002006-11-06T05:01:00.000-08:00I was on the fence wether to make what pears I hav...I was on the fence wether to make what pears I have left into 9LOL) wine or jam.

I will watch along the way to see what you might make from the book. I think you will enjoy it. In fact, I enjoy Susan's writing.

Last night I made a Daube which takes a good day or at least part of an overnight. It had beef, carrots, green olives and fennel -- MMMM. The previous evening I made an omelette aux lardons et au pommes de terre. (bacon and potato omelette). Oh did I fail to mention the Creme Fraiche as the finishing touch?!!!<br /><br />Today I am taking your hint about the Laurel's Kitchen oatmeal bread and I have the oatmeal cooking right now.
