Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 Anjou pears -- peeled and cored
seeded and chopped -- 1/4-inch dice
3 serrano pepper -- minced
1 cup sweet white wine
1/2 cup raspberry vinegar
1 lime -- juiced
1 pint fresh raspberries -- 1/2-inch pieces
teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Place pear pieces in a small, deep, preferrably glass bowl. Add the chiles,
wine, vinegar and lime juice. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Drain and
discard the marinade and chile pieces, reserving 2 tablespoons of liquid.
Add the raspberries (cut fruit that is too large) to the pears. In a small
bowl, mix together the reserved liquid, ginger and pepper flakes. Pour this
over the fruit. Stir gently to coat. Serve immediately or cover and
refrigerate no more than 2 hours prior to use. This salsa will not keep.
Makes about 1+1/2 cups.

NOTES : The heady contrast between spicy hot and sweet makes this unusual
salsa a fascinating complement to roast poultry or pork. TIP: Underripe
pears would be too graining for this salsa. Substitute canned pears in
their own juice, if necessary.
