Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
Spiced Fresh Pears

Take advantage of those ripe, in-season pears. Spicing them with sweet cinnamon and cloves makes them a delightful topping for crispy french toast or a sweet layer in a granola and yogurt parfait.

ingredients
2 cups water
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 dash ground cloves, optional
4 fresh, ripe pears
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
directions
Combine the water, sugar, cinnamon, and cloves in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil and let cook for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool.
Peel the pears (if desired) and slice them in half. Remove the seeds. Drizzle or brush the pears on all sides with the lemon juice. Place the pears in covered container.
When the spiced syrup has cooled, pour it over the pears. Cover the container and place the pears in the refrigerator for 8 hours, gently turning the container occasionally to coat the pears in the syrup.
common recipe questions
Can I used canned pears?
You can use canned pears. The texture will be a little different. Make sure to get pears packed in juice, not heavy syrup. You also won't need the lemon juice with canned pears but follow the rest of the recipe.
What type of pears should I use in this recipe?
Any pear that is good for eating raw can be used such as Anjou, Asian, Bartlett, or Bosc.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
