Tips:
- Choose ripe but firm pears: Pears that are too ripe will be mushy, while pears that are too firm will not soften properly.
- Peel and core the pears before cooking: This will help the pears to cook evenly and prevent the skins from becoming tough.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the pears from sticking.
- Simmer the pears in a flavorful liquid: This could be water, juice, wine, or even a combination of liquids. Add spices, herbs, or other flavorings to taste.
- Cook the pears until they are tender but still hold their shape: This will usually take about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve the pears warm or cold: They can be enjoyed on their own, or topped with yogurt, ice cream, or whipped cream.
