Method
Directions
Prepare the Pears
Wash the pears thoroughly. Cut a small slice from the bottom of each pear to help them stand upright. Leave the stems intact.
Poach the Pears
Once the poaching liquid is boiling, reduce the heat to low. Carefully add the pears to the saucepan. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the pears are tender but not mushy.
Cool the Pears
Once cooked, remove the pears from the saucepan and place them upright on a serving dish. Allow the poaching liquid to cool for about 10 minutes before straining it to remove the cinnamon stick.
Serve
Drizzle the strained poaching liquid over the pears and garnish with fresh mint leaves. Serve warm or chilled.
