Ingredients 4 Bartlett pears, peeled, cored, and cut into ¼-inch dice Juice of 2 lemons 2 ½ cups dried cherries 1 pound red pearl onions, roots trimmed, peeled, and cut in half lengthwise 1 ½ cups red-wine vinegar 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon coarse salt ¼ teaspoon ground cloves Directions In a large bowl, toss pears with lemon juice. Place cherries, pearl onions, half of the pears, the vinegar, sugar, salt, cloves, and 2 cups water in a low-sided, 6-quart saucepan. Set the saucepan over high heat, and bring liquid to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low, and simmer until fruit is tender, about 45 minutes. Increase heat to high; cook until liquid has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Stir in remaining pears, and reduce heat to low; cook just until pears are heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Transfer to a large bowl set over an ice bath to chill; store in airtight container, refrigerated, for up to 4 weeks. Cook's Notes Peeling the pearl onions is easier if you first soak them in a bowl of hot water for a few minutes; when trimming the roots, remove as little as possible so the onions remain intact during the cooking process.
