Picking Asian Pears: Homemade Pear Syrup, Roasted Pears & Sweet Soup

Welcome to Haiqu Girl! Today I pick a basket of fresh Asian pears in the countryside of Rizhao, China, and turn them into three autumn treats: homemade pear syrup (qiuli gao), dough-wrapped pears with Sichuan peppercorns roasted over charcoal, and sweet pear and snow fungus soup. From the orchard to the kitchen, join me for a peaceful day of fruit picking, slow cooking and tasting, ending with a little music.
