Instructions: Combine pears, raisins, nuts and lemon peel. Set aside. Dissolve yeast in warm water. Beat in egg, biscuit mix and 2 tablespoons sugar. Turn out on a floured surface. Knead about 20 times. Roll into a 16x9-inch rectangle.

Spread with butter. Spoon set aside pear mixture evenly over dough.

Sprinkle with remaining 4 tablespoons sugar. Roll up, starting with the long end. Pinch seam together to seal. Place roll, seam side down, on a greased baking sheet. Shape into a ring, overlapping the ends. Make cuts, 2/3 way into ring, at 1-inch intervals, and turn each section on its side.

Cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour. Bake at 375 degrees (F) for 15 to 20 minutes. Spread with hot glaze while still warm.

Ginger Glaze: combine all ingredients in saucepan. Bring to a boil. Simmer 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Spoon while hot over warm ring.

Always be sure to use ripe pears.
