1/4 cup water
4 (approx 2 lb) whole firm pears, peeled leaving stems attached
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp apricot fruit spread or preserves
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1/2 tsp cornstarch

Spoon the lemon juice over the pears.
Place the lid on the cooker and cook on high setting for 2 1/2 hours.
Remove the pears and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the apricot spread, ginger, cornstarch and vanilla, stirring until cornstarch is dissolved. Add to the liquid in the cooker; whisk until blended. Replace lid on cooker and cook on high setting 15 minutes or until the liquid thickens slightly. Spoon sauce over pears.
