Cider Poached Pears image

This is an excellent dessert that is sure to impress your friends or family. The pears hold up really well in the slow cooker, and by poaching them with cider, the complementary spices, like cinnamon and nutmeg, are infused into each pear. Not only do the pears taste amazing, but they look as good as they taste.

Time 4h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 cups apple cider
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons orange zest
3 whole cloves
1 cinnamon stick
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
6 Bosc pears, peeled, halved and cored

Steps:

  • Combine the cider, sugar, orange juice, orange zest, cloves, cinnamon stick and vanilla bean in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook just until the sugar dissolves, 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to the slow cooker. Add the pears, and then cover with a lid and cook on low2 hours, turning the pears halfway through.
  • Remove the pears using a slotted spoon and transfer to serving plates or a shallow dish. Carefully strain the poaching liquid back into the saucepan and reduce the liquid by half until thickened and syrupy. Pour the reduced sauce over the pears and chill in the refrigerator an additional 2 hours or up to 2 days.

I'm allergic to pears, so I can't comment on the taste. But the recipe looks easy to follow.

This recipe is a waste of time. The pears were tough and the syrup was too sweet.

I don't think I did something right, because my pears turned out really bland. I'm not sure what I'll do with them.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll stick to simpler recipes in the future.

The pears were a bit mushy for my liking, but the cider syrup was delicious. I think I'll try poaching the pears for a shorter amount of time next time.

These pears were a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just because I used a tart variety of pear. Next time, I'll use a sweeter pear.

These pears were delicious! The cider syrup was especially good. I served them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and it was the perfect dessert.

This was my first time poaching pears, and it was so easy! The recipe was clear and concise, and the results were amazing. The pears were tender and juicy, and the cider syrup was perfect. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a winner. The pears are always perfectly cooked, and the cider syrup is delicious. I like to add a little bit of ginger to the poaching liquid for an extra kick.

These cider-poached pears were a delightful treat! The pears were tender and flavorful, and the cider syrup was rich and aromatic. I served them with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, and they were a hit with my family and friends
