slightly underripe, peeled, halved and cored * smashed with flat sided knife or cleaver *** available at Asian markets, gourmet stores and some supermarkets Rub pear halves with cut lemon to prevent browning and set aside.

Reduce heat until liquid is just under a boil and poach pears until just tender, 12 to 15 minutes. (Knife will pierce center easily.) Remove pears with slotted spoon and let cool slightly. Arrange cooked pears on serving dish or in individual serving bowls. Remove ginger and cinnamon from poaching liquid and reheat liquid until boiling. Cook until liquid is reduced to thick syrup, about 25 minutes. Let cool slightly. Pour warm syrup over pears. Sprinkle with candied ginger and serve.
