>Actually it's not my translation, it's Serena da Riva's as reposted in Jadwiga's mustard article. I think I agree with you on the pears in mustard sauce, although a pear and cider mustard would be pretty tasty (and might get made for personal consumption anyway regardless of whether or not it's accurate).

I've made pear mustard before, someone posted a recipe here, I think.

I think cider would be quite reasonable, although maybe not with pears, you might overwhelm the pear flavor.  Perry or pear juice might be nice too.
