Hi Maangchi, This recipe sound delicious! I was wondering if I can leave the pinenut out since I’m allergic to nut? will it impact the flavor of the dessert? Also, Can use an apple instead of a pear for this recipe? Thank you and Happy Holiday!
I just saw your photo of 배숙 used on an episode of KBS “Mr. House Husband!” take a look here: https://youtu.be/G8h8T_WNXHY?t=14m37s
I never watch Korean dramas because I don’t have time, but you made me watch this one and investigate to see if they really used my photo! That’s right, they did! Thanks for letting me know!
Thanks for this recipe Maangchi!!! This is so useful for this time of the year!!! Would you have any recipes using the Instant Pot ? I would love to make this and many of your recipes in an instant pot, thanks again for sharing your delicious recipes !!!
I remember my mom making this for me when I’d have to stay home from school with a bad cough. I was trying to remember how to make it for my sick husband when I stumbled across your recipe. Thank you for this!
P.S. I bought a bag of pine nuts at Trader Joe’s. They have the best price!
Now this is my favorite dessert treat! I put it in the fridge for a few hours. It’s so delicious! The jujubes and pine nuts make it so good. Healthy too!

It looks gorgeous! I’m glad you like baesuk a lot! Yes, it’s sweet soft and a little crispy!
Hi, maangchi.
Can’t wait to make it. Almost all the ingredients can be found easily in my country except for the pine nuts. Can I use any other nuts such as peanuts, cashew or almond? Or should I skip it?
Thanks
Peanuts sound great to me. Chop them into small pieces before using. Good luck!
I couldn’t wait any longer and pulled out my pears from the steamer at the 25 min mark! :) it was SO GOOD!! The flavors were really warm and comforting, I love that the pear was soft but still kept it’s shape. ^__^ yummy!!! Definitely making this dessert for my father in law :) and parents.
yeah, I guarantee you will impress your father-in-law and parents with your baesuk.
안녕하세요
배숙은 정말 맛있는 것 같아서 한 번 만들어 보고 싶어요. 근데 스티머가 없는데 어떻게 할까요?
I would really like to try this recipe. Since I don’t have a steamer, do you think it’ll be possible to cook the pears in the oven?
감사합니다 (:
You can make baesuk without a steamer. In a pot, add a few cups of water. And place pear filled with honey mixture in a heat resistant bowl. And place it in the pot and cook it. Good luck with making delicious baesuk!
I made this for my parents over the holidays, and they were really impressed! It turned out perfectly, and the filling was delicious. I did make the carving a bit narrow… I think I will make it wider and fill it back with the fruit like you did. Thank you, and happy new year!
yeah next time if you make it again, please show me the photo. I’d like to see your baesuk. : ) Upload the photo here: https://www.maangchi.com/photos/upload
These look wonderful! I HAVE to make these. It can’t be a coincidence that my sister just gave me a box of Korean pears and that I actually have all the other ingredients (except the optional jujubes). I even have the pine nuts, that I have never bought before, but just got for the first time to try to make the Maejakgwa (Ginger cookies). I think I will try to find the jujubes though, since I have never tried them before. Thanks a lot for the recipes!
wonderful! Let me know how your baesuk turns out.
I did a pretty good job, although I think I added a little too much ginger. :\
It took a bit of searching, but I’m glad I decided to use the jujubes. They were really good. I’ll probably try making it again, this time making sure I don’t over do it with the ginger.
Thanks again for the great recipe!
Maangchi – I put a question about jujubes on the discussions forum before I saw that you can comment about the recipes here. I bought a bag of dried jujubes from a Chinese market today. It says on the bag that it’s “not a snack” and that you have to wash them, and cook them before you can eat them.” I don’t mind doing that but the way they put it, it sounds as if it’s unsafe to eat them without first cooking them. What is your experience with dried jujubes? Thank you. (These jujubes are definitely from China; they have Chinese writing on the bag in addition to English.)
So good! It’s been rainy and blustery for several days so today I made baesuk. I had been wanting to make ever since I saw it mentoned on a drama. I know I will make this often over the winter season… hopefully not because I have a cold, but because it is so delicious and warming! ^_~ Thanks!
Maangchi, I love watching your how to videos. They are very easy to follow, step by step. I tried making the Baesuk. It turned out very delicious. The Bosc pears were not in season at the store, so I had to substitute with the Bartlett pear.
안녕하세요! Maangchi, thank you so much for this recipe! This year, I am learning Korean, and as a Christmas present to my mother and grandmother I will be cooking Korean food for them. Your site has been so helpful to me while I’ve been practising! I’ve already made 짜장면 and 비빔밥, and this will be so good for dessert. I’ll be sure to take some pictures when I do :)
Welcome to Korean cooking! : ) Yes, baesuk will be a good dessert for Christmas dinner. Let me know how yours turns out.
im a expert in this fruit^-^(if you want to find it in the toko, its cald ”Golden pear” the korean pear, is what darker skin colour, and more juicy flesh. And there is also a sweeter one a light-skin, and its cald ”nashi”, chinese, japanese, korean pears, etc, are the same, but a different climat change the form, or the tast. and is good for the health-isues, what i study for it.) want to know more, about pears, i open for quistions^_^
