3 cups water
1 cup granulated sugar
10 to 12 slices fresh ginger
2 whole cinnamon sticks
6 pears, peeled and cored
1 tbs. candied ginger, minced, for garnish

In the Crock-Pot® Slow Cooker, combine the water, sugar, fresh ginger and cinnamon sticks. Place the pears in this mixture. Cover; cook on Low for 4 to 6 hours or on High for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove the pears from the sauce and let them cool. Turn the slow cooker to High
and heat uncovered for about 30 minutes to allow the liquid to reduce to a thick syrup. Drizzle this syrup over the pears. Garnish with the candied ginger.
