EQUIPMENT: Measuring spoons, measuring cup, zester or vegetable peeler, paring knife, cutting board, cook's knife, hand grater, 2 stainless steel bowls (1 large), 2½-qt saucepan, whisk, instant-read test thermometer, ice-cream freezer, dinner fork, nonstick baking sheet, 2 2-qt plastic containers, double boiler Core and quarter the pears (do not peel). Grate the pear quarters, then place the grated pear in a stainless steel bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Refrigerate until needed.

Whisk to dissolve sugar. Bring to a boil and boil for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Pour the hot sugar mixture over the grated pear and stir.
