Ingredients
- 2 ripe Bosc pears, peeled Optionally, you could cut the pears in half and core, but the presentation won't be as pretty.
- 2 cups dry white wine
- 1 cup water
- ¼ cup honey (or sub molasses or sorghum), plus more to serve
- 1-2 cardamom pods, crushed
- 1 lemon or lime, juiced
Instructions
- Bring wine, water, honey, and cardamom to a boil in a medium saucepan (it should be big enough to hold all your pears, but small enough that you don't have to use extra wine to cover the pears).
- Lower heat to medium and add pears. Simmer for 10 minutes and add lemon or lime juice. Simmer 5 more minutes. Pears are ready when they can be easily pierced with a fork.
- Serve pears with a large spoonful or two of the poaching liquid, and add additional honey if desired.
- Make Ahead / Leftovers:Store pears in poaching liquid in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Rewarm in liquid before serving if desired.
Notes
- Nutrition information includes ½ cup of white wine & ⅛ cup of honey, since most of the poaching liquid is not consumed.
