Wash pears, then peel, core and slice. Cook it. Add sugar and mix. Keep the mixture overnight. Place it on the stove and stir. Boil it. Then minimize the heat. Allow the pears to cook until they turn a light golden brown. Syrup will begin to thicken. Stir it well. Add more sugar. The pears will have a translucent appearance.
