Steps:

• Bring the sugar and water to a boil and turn down heat, leaving simmering on the stove top. Peel and core pears. Slice into eight wedges. In 7 wide mouth pint jars, add cinnamon red hot candies - use according to your liking. I use about 12 candies per jar. Pack jars completely full with pear wedges, leaving 1/2 inch at top of jars empty. Fill jars with simple syrup. Place jars in a hot water bath. Bring to a boil. Start timing and boil for 20 minutes. Turn off heat and let sit for 10 minutes. Remove jars and sit on counter. Make sure each jar has sealed. If there is no seal, keep unsealed jars in fridge for up to two weeks before using.
