Pears Preserved with Ginger Root

The proportion of fruit, sugar, water and lemon is the same as above; adding two ounces of ginger-root to a pound of fruit. Prepare the syrup with the sugar and water. Add the grated rind of half the lemons, the juice of all and the ginger broken into small pieces. When the syrup will nearly string, add the halved fruit and cook until transparent.
