Poached pears with cider sauce

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
6 Firm pears; stems intact
½ gallon Apple cider
1 Cinnamon stick
1 Vanilla bean; spilt
2 slices Ginger root
Mint leaves; for garnish

Directions

Peel pears and core from bottom. Slice small piece off bottom so pears can stand upright. Place in bowl of cold water with the juice of half a lemon.

Bring cider, cinnamon, vanilla and ginger to a simmer. Add pears and simmer covered for 15 minutes or until just tender. Remove pears to a platter.

Bring cider to a boil and reduce to a syrupy consistency about 1½ cups.

Remove vanilla, cinnamon and ginger, and pour glace over fruit. Allow to cool to room temperature and garnish each pear with mint.
