Pickled Asian Pears Wor Mei Lei

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Made these using Bosc pears would recommend quartering or slicing and rice vinegar. The sugar and vinegar are well balanced to make a tasty treat. We found they made a good snack, ie appetizer. May try putting some with either grilled meat or a salad.
