English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 3582 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Peel 20 ripe pears, cook in a little water until soft and drain completely in a sieve.
Rub the cooked pears through a sieve and proceed as for apple mustard in recipe No. 3581.
The author considers it even tastier than the apple version.
Historical editorial note: The pear purée and vinegar mixture is not a validated shelf-stable recipe.
