Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 small firm-ripe Bosc or Bartlett pears (about 6 ounces each)
2 cups cranberry-raspberry juice cocktail
1/2 cup sugar
2 bay leaves
2 whole cloves
1 teaspoon julienne orange zest

Steps:

  • Core pears from blossom ends with melon-ball scoop and peel, leaving stems intact.
  • In a 2-quart saucepan simmer pears in juice with remaining ingredients, uncovered, turning occasionally, 10 to 15 minutes, or until pears are tender but still hold their shape. Transfer pears to a plate with a slotted spoon, reserving poaching liquid, and chill in freezer 15 minute.
  • While pears are chilling, boil reserved liquid until reduced to about 1 cup. Pour liquid into a bowl and put bowl in a larger bowl of ice and cold water. Stir liquid until cooled lightly.
  • Serve pears in shallow bowls with some poaching liquid and garnished with bay leaves. (Do not eat bay leaves.)

These poached pears were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time to give them more flavor.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my poached pears came out really mushy. I think I might have cooked them for too long.

These poached pears were a bit too tart for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll add some more sugar next time.

The poaching liquid was a bit too watery for me. I think I'll add some more spices next time to give it more flavor.

These poached pears were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

The pears turned out amazing! They were soft and juicy, with a beautiful red color. The poaching liquid was also delicious, and I used it to make a sauce for the pears.

These poached pears were a delightful treat! The combination of spices and wine created a rich and flavorful syrup that perfectly complemented the tender pears. I served them with a dollop of whipped cream, and they were a hit with my family.
