Poached Pears

Never had i made Poached Pears and it was a great experience when I did.

The recipe that I used to make poached pears used about a cup or two of pomagranite juice with a pinch of
clove, sugar and cinnomon.

This recipe was easy to follow and was delicious.
It had easy to follow directions.

Poached pears are made by pealing the pear completely and leaving the stem.
Then it is put into the simmering pomagranite juice.

After 12 minutes the pear is pulled out and set to cool.
After wards you may add any other topping you would like.

It was a great experience for me and it was also a fun lab to do. :D

RECIPE:

Pomegranate Poached Pears

Prep + cook time: 25 mins

Serves: 4

When choosing your pears, go with ones that are on the firm side over really ripe ones. You will have plenty of juice left over after poaching, so you can always reuse it to make another batch of pears. Best if eaten within 48 hours.

You need:

• 2 firm bosc pears
• 11 oz. all natural pomegranate (POM) juice
• 2 teaspoons sugar

• A few drops of red food coloring
• Pinch ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

1. Peel pears, leaving stems intact. Bring pot of POM juice to light simmer. Add food coloring, sugar and spices.
2. Gently lower each pear into juice using a slotted spoon. Reduce heat to med-low and let pears cook until soft (about 10-15 mins), turning with spoon every so often so they cook and take on color evenly. You can also spoon liquid over exposed fruit during cooking.
3. Once done, transfer to a large bowl, pour juice overtop and let cool. Slice in half and serve with a small scoop of ice cream or whipped cream in the center or just as is!
4. Be sure to plate according to elements of meal appeal and take a photo prior to your first bite!
