Cinnamon-infused poached pears.
Ingredients:
  • 750ml (3 cups) water
  • 200g (1 cup, firmly packed) brown sugar
  • 1 x 7cm cinnamon stick, roughly broken
  • 3 large (about 280g each) just-ripe beurre bosc pears, unpeeled, cored, cut into thick wedges
  • Low-fat natural yoghurt, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan over low heat, mix water, sugar, and cinnamon until sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Add pear and stir gently. Cover with non-stick baking paper and cook for 10-15 minutes until pear is tender. Serve pear in bowls using a slotted spoon.
  • Turn up the heat to high and let the syrup come to a vigorous boil. Keep it uncovered and simmer for 5-10 minutes until the syrup slightly thickens.
  • Drizzle the luscious syrup over the juicy pears and serve with a dollop of creamy yogurt for an irresistible treat.
