Poached Pears
Ингредиенты
- 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) water
- 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) sugar
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice
- 4 ripe but firm pears
Инструкция
- In a small saucepan, bring the water, sugar, and lemon juice to a boil. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Peel the pears, being careful to keep the stalk. With a melon baller, core the pears from the base up, so as to keep the pears whole.
- Place the pears upright in the simmering syrup and cook for about 20 minutes over low heat, according to the firmness of the pears, until tender with a knife. Remove from the heat, let cool, then refrigerate the pears in the syrup until completely chilled. Remove the pears and reduce the syrup until syrupy. Refrigerate or serve warm.
