PEARS CHUNK-STYLE
(from Renita Smith)

8 to 10 large pears, cored, peeled and sliced or cut in chunks
1/2 cup water
1 tsp. cinnamon (can add 1/2 tsp. ginger)
1/2 - 1 cup of sugar

Put all ingredients into slow cooker, cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours. Serve warm with cream as a dessert fruit or cold.
Note: I found by using this way of cooking the pears they could be used in any recipes that call for apples, like fruit breads. They are just as tasty as you want to make them. I even used them in raspberry jell-o and with the spices it proved to be very good.
