Are you a fan of delicious, sweet, and tender poached pears? Look no further! In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of cooking poached pears that will leave your taste buds impressed. Let’s get started!

What You’ll Need:

  • 4 ripe pears
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 vanilla bean
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 lemon

Step 1: Prepare the Pears

Start by peeling the pears, leaving the stems intact. This will give your final dish a nice presentation. Use a peeler or a sharp knife to remove the skin.

Step 2: Prepare the Poaching Liquid

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the water, sugar, vanilla bean, and cinnamon stick. Squeeze the juice of the lemon into the saucepan as well. Stir the mixture well to dissolve the sugar.

Step 3: Poach the Pears

Place the peeled pears into the saucepan with the poaching liquid. Make sure the pears are fully submerged. If needed, add more water to cover the pears completely.

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and let the pears poach for about 20-30 minutes or until they are tender. To check if they are done, poke them gently with a fork. The fork should easily go through the flesh.

Step 4: Remove the Pears

Once the pears are tender, carefully remove them from the poaching liquid using a slotted spoon. Transfer them to a plate or a bowl and set aside.

Step 5: Reduce the Poaching Liquid

Increase the heat to medium-high and let the poaching liquid simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until it becomes syrupy and reduces in volume. Remove the vanilla bean and cinnamon stick from the liquid.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!

Place a poached pear on a plate and drizzle it with the reduced poaching liquid. You can serve it as is or alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat. Enjoy your homemade poached pears!

Now that you know how to cook poached pears, it’s time to put your skills to the test. Impress your guests or treat yourself to a delightful dessert that will surely satisfy your sweet cravings. Bon appétit!
