1. Combine sugar and water in a deep heavy-bottomed pan. Stir over medium heat until dissolved.
   
2. Bring to the boil for one minute. Reduce heat to a simmer. Add other ingredients. (even though the recipe said all i suspect they mean except jam?)
   
3. Even though the pears will float, ensure there is enough liquid so you could submerge them. Add mroe water if necessary.
