Poached Pears image

A wondeful recipe by Donna Hay. Lovely for those cold winters nights. Any firm pears can be used Williams or Packham pears, but you may need to adjust the cooking time as they may take a little longer.

I thought the poaching liquid was a little bland. I think next time I'll add a little bit of vanilla extract or almond extract to give it more flavor.

The pears were a bit mushy for my taste. I think next time I'll cook them for a shorter amount of time.

The pears took a lot longer to poach than the recipe said. I had to leave them on the stove for almost an hour before they were tender.

The poaching liquid was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think next time I'll use less sugar or I'll add a little bit of lemon juice to balance out the sweetness.

I had a hard time finding the right type of pears for this recipe. I ended up using Bartlett pears, and they were okay, but I think they would have been better with a different variety.

These poached pears were a bit too tart for my taste. I think next time I'll use a different type of pear, or I'll add a little more sugar to the poaching liquid.
