2 teaspoons of fresh ginger grated
1 teaspoon of salt
450ml of white wine vinegar

Place all the ingredients, except the pears, in a very large preserving pan and bring to the boil gently, allow it to bubble for 30 mins and then add the pears. When this has come to the boil allow the mixture to simmer for a further 30 mins stirring frequently. When the kliquid has reduced turn of the heat and allow to cool a little before potting up in sterilised jars. Makes about 7 1lb jars and will keep for at least a year.

This is great with cheese and biscuits also with your favourite curry or just spread it on when you have a ham sandwich
