  1. Tried this with cherries and it was delicious!!
     
  2. i would add more rum and creme de menthe next time as the pears seemed to really absorb it. this really is easy to do and they come out great! i also tried this recipe using strawberries and peaches. they came out just as good as the pears. i added more rum to the peaches and i didn't use creme de menthe for either one, i sued brandy with the rum for both instead.
