Possessed by Pears!

I'm possessed by pears these days and came across a couple new ways to enjoy them. If you don't have your Thanksgiving stuffing recipe figured out yet below is one from William’s Sonoma combining 3 of my favorite holiday ingredients Pear, Chestnut and Sage that sounds great!
I will definitely add some pear along and fresh ginger into my cranberries but my new absolute favorite pear recipe comes straight from Absolute Pear Vodka. Sorry, I could not resist that play on words! Believe it or not, from Martha Stewart - Pear Rosemary Cocktail – haven’t tried this yet but you can bet I will!
Ingredients

6 to 10 Seckel pears
4 cups (32 ounces) vodka
1 cup sugar
12 sprigs fresh rosemary plus more for garnish
1 1/2 cups (12 ounces) pear nectar
4 cups (32 ounces) sparkling water
Directions

Put enough pears into a 48-ounce glass jar to fill. Add vodka. Seal jar, and let stand at room temperature 2 weeks (up to 2 months).
Heat sugar and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Add rosemary; remove from heat. Let stand 30 minutes. Discard rosemary. Let cool completely. Syrup can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 month.
Fill 12-ounce glasses halfway with ice. Add 4 tablespoons vodka, 2 tablespoons syrup, and 3 tablespoons pear nectar to each. Top with 1/2 cup sparkling water. Serve garnished with rosemary sprigs.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING from Cozyland!
