10 cups	Pears, cored, peeled and chopped (Main)
1 cup	Craisins

3 cups	Cider vinegar
1 tsp	Salt
½ tsp	Allspice, ground
1 tsp	Ground cinnamon

1. Place all ingredients in a large stainless steel saucepan. Bring to the boil, stirring often.
2. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick, about one-and-a-half hours.
