Ingredients:
  • 6 195g firm beurre bosc pears, peeled with stems intact
  • 1L (4 cups) water
  • 400g (2 cups, firmly packed) brown sugar
  • 2 15cm orange rind strips
  • Thick cream or natural yoghurt, to serve (optional)
Instructions:
  • Carefully core each pear using a small, sharp knife. Combine water, sugar, and orange rind strips in a saucepan large enough for the pears.
  • Heat the mixture over medium heat, uncovered, stirring constantly until the sugar completely dissolves. Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat to let the bubbles settle.
  • When bubbles sporadically rise and the liquid gently simmers, add the pears. Poach the pears, partially covered, for 2 hours or until easily pierced with a thin skewer. Use a wooden spoon to gently turn the floating pears for even cooking. Monitor and adjust the heat as needed to keep the liquid at a consistent temperature.
  • Transfer the poached pears to serving bowls using a slotted spoon. Finish by drizzling with the poaching liquid and adding a dollop of cream or yogurt, if desired.
