    4 fresh pears (I used Bosc)
    1 cup bourbon
    1/4 cup cranberries
    1/4 cup honey
    1 cup water
    1 tbs. vanilla
    1 tbs. ground cinnamon

    Core and peel the pears, leaving the stems on. Combine all other ingredients in a pot and mix, then place pears in the pot. Simmer until pears are soft but not falling apart–roughly 25 minutes. Goes well with vanilla ice cream.
