Ginger Pear Turkey with Glaze

I'm going to be making this old recipe for Thanksgiving this year and thought I'd post it.

1 Turkey (14 pounds)

2 pears

2 lemons

2 cinnamon sticks

2 one inch thick pieces of Fresh Ginger

8 Whole Allspice

Cut up the pears and lemons and stuff the Turkey with all the ingredients.

Glaze- Makes 2 cups

3 cups pear juice

2 cinnamon sticks

2 half inch thick pieces of Fresh Ginger

6 whole allspice

Toss all the ingredients in a sauté pan, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes uncovered. (this should reduce to about 1 1/2 cups) Using a slotted spoon, removed spices and stir in;

1/2 cu sherry preserves

2 Tbsp Red Wine Vinegar

1/4 tsp salt.
