Author Notes: With leftover pickling liquid from cranberries (that was made with 1.5 cups cider vinegar, 3/4 cups water,1.5 cups organic cane sugar, 1.5 ounces maple syrup , 2 ounces acacia honey, 1 inch piece of ginger, sliced thin,1 lemon, sliced thin, pits removed and 1/2 teaspoon coriander (whole berries boiled together with 12 oz of cranberries) I had some fresh Bartlett pears I wanted to preserve. The recipe for pickled cranberries is also on this site. After enjoying those, I did not want to waste the pickling liquid, which had turned a beautiful red.This was an interesting way to do that. These are intended to be refrigerator pickles, good for a few weeks there.
