4 cups water

Poached Pears
Directions
Place sugar and four cups water into a wide pot. Simmer until sugar dissolves.
Puree and strain raspberries. Add to syrup in pot. Add cinnamon stick.
Peel pears (keeping stem intact) and cut thin horizontal slice off the bottom so that they can stand straight.
