In large skillet, combine sugar and water; heat to boiling over high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add pears and apples; return to boiling. Lower heat; simmer 3 minutes, just until fruit is tender. Pour mixture gently into large strainer set over large measuring cup. Reserve 1 1/2 cups cooking liquid, discarding any remainder. Place fruit in large, serving bowl; add oranges and gently mix. In small bowl, mash one cup of the raspberries. Press puree through fine sieve into reserved cooking liquid (discard seeds). Add liqueur and pepper; pour over fruit. Cover and chill overnight. Just before serving, add remaining fresh raspberries and mix gently.
