Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 small firm-ripe Bosc or Bartlett pears (about 6 ounces each)
2 cups cranberry-raspberry juice cocktail
1/2 cup sugar
2 bay leaves
2 whole cloves
1 teaspoon julienne orange zest

Steps:

  • Core pears from blossom ends with melon-ball scoop and peel, leaving stems intact.
  • In a 2-quart saucepan simmer pears in juice with remaining ingredients, uncovered, turning occasionally, 10 to 15 minutes, or until pears are tender but still hold their shape. Transfer pears to a plate with a slotted spoon, reserving poaching liquid, and chill in freezer 15 minute.
  • While pears are chilling, boil reserved liquid until reduced to about 1 cup. Pour liquid into a bowl and put bowl in a larger bowl of ice and cold water. Stir liquid until cooled lightly.
  • Serve pears in shallow bowls with some poaching liquid and garnished with bay leaves. (Do not eat bay leaves.)

These pears were delicious! I served them with a dollop of whipped cream and they were the perfect dessert. I will definitely be making these again.

I had a hard time finding the right pears for this recipe. I ended up using Bartlett pears, which were a bit too soft. I think a firmer variety of pear would have been better.

These pears were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a less sugary poaching liquid.

I had some trouble getting the pears to poach evenly. Some of them were soft and tender, while others were still a bit hard. I think I may have cooked them for too long.

These poached pears were a bit too tart for my taste. I think I would have preferred a sweeter variety of pear. Otherwise, the recipe was easy to follow and the pears were cooked evenly.
