- 3 (16 ounce) cans pear halves in juice
- 1 (2.25 ounce) package cinnamon red hot candies
- 1/4 teaspoon red food coloring
- 6 leaves butterhead lettuce
- Drain the liquid from the cans of pears into a saucepan. Add red hot candies to the juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the candy has dissolved. Stir in the food coloring, remove from heat, and allow to cool.
- Place the pear halves in a deep bowl. Pour the liquid over the pears, cover, and refrigerate overnight. You may want to stir a couple of times to evenly distribute the color. Serve pear halves cold on top of a leaf of lettuce.
