  • In a saucepan, combine sugar and 3 cups (750ml) water over medium-low heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add cardamom pods, cinnamon quill, and pears, then cover closely with a sheet of baking paper. Poach pears for 10-15 minutes until tender, based on the ripeness. Use a slotted spoon to remove pears and set aside.
