I’ve always wanted to try poaching pears, and I have seen it done so many times on My Kitchen Rules that one night I decided to give it a go.  The verdict was a thumbs up from the family, and as long as you make sure your pears are cooked through but not over-cooked, it’s relatively easy.  Having said that, remember that I wasn’t cooking for an army of hungry people who wanted their dessert NOW!!<\/strong>  I was only cooking for family, so getting the pears right wasn’t too difficult.  My no. 1 tip would be to buy pears that are as close to being the same size as possible.<\/p>\n

Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Poached Pears<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n

750ml (3 Cups) Water<\/p>\n

200g (1 Cup, firmly packed) Brown Sugar<\/p>\n

1 x 7cm Cinnamon Stick, roughly broken<\/p>\n

3 large (about 280g each) just-ripe Beurre Bosc Pears, unpeeled, cored, cut into thick wedges.  I quartered them.<\/p>\n

Low-fat Natural Yoghurt or Ice-Cream to serve.<\/p>\n

Yes, I went for the Ice-Cream!!<\/p>\n

Directions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Using the saucepan you plan to cook the pears in, trace a circle onto a piece of non-stick baking paper and cut it out.<\/p>\n

Combine the water, sugar and cinnamon in a large saucepan over low heat.<\/p>\n

Cook, stirring for 2 minutes or until the sugar dissolves.<\/p>\n

Add the pears and stir to coat them in syrup.<\/p>\n

Place your baking paper circle on the surface of the pear and syrup mixture and cook, covered, for 10-15 minutes or until the pears are tender.<\/p>\n

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pears to serving bowls.<\/p>\n

Increase the heat to high and bring the syrup to the boil.  Continue to boil uncovered for another 5-10 minutes or until the syrup thickens slightly.<\/p>\n

Drizzle the syrup over the pears.<\/p>\n

Serve immediately with yoghurt or ice-cream.<\/p>\n
