This pear delicacy is so versatile you could ”pear it” with your favorite meats, or dollop it onto your favorite ice cream. Either way, it’s a great way to fit fruit in! Ingredients:
2 cans (30 ounces each) pear halves in heavy syrup |
2 cups orange juice |
2 cinnamon sticks |
3 cloves |
9 black peppercorns |
1 tablespoon dried orange peel (optional) |
Directions:
1. Drain the pears, reserving the liquid in a small saucepan. Add the orange juice, cinnamon, clove, peppercorns and orange peel. Boil until the liquid is reduced to about 2 cups. Add the drained pears and continue simmering, about 5 minutes, until the liquid is lightly thickened.
2. Cool the pears in the poaching liquid; serve warm or chilled.
