Instructions

  1. Combine rosemary, cinnamon, white grape juice, bourbon, honey, peppercorns, bay leaf and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring until everything dissolved.
  2. Bring to a simmer.
  3. Add pears and water, to almost completely submerge the pears.
  4. Cover with lid slightly ajar and simmer, turning occasionally, until pears are tender but not mushy, about 30 minutes.
  5. Using a slotted spoon, transfer pears to a plate. Increase heat and boil poaching liquid until reduced to 1 cup, 10–15 minutes.
  6. Spoon some of syrup over the pears to serve.
