Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 lb kumquats (20), ends trimmed, sliced crosswise 1/3 inch thick, and seeded
3 lb Asian pear (4 large), peeled, cored, and sliced lengthwise 1/4 inch thick

Steps:

  • Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into water with lime juice in a small heavy saucepan, then add pod, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then simmer 3 minutes. Add kumquats and simmer, covered, until they just begin to soften, 3 to 4 minutes.

This recipe was an absolute delight! The pears and kumquats were perfectly poached, and the vanilla syrup was incredibly flavorful. I served it with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped pistachios, and it was a hit with my guests.
