Simmer on low heat until the sugar has dissolved. In the meantime, peel the pears without removing the stalk and sprinkle with lemon juice. Place in the pot and cook over low heat for about 30 minutes. Turn occasionally so that the pears are evenly red all around. Leave to cool in the syrup and steep for at least 2 hours
