Dreamy dessert with these Citrus-Poached Pears, flavored with lemon and orange juice and grated zest, a stick of cinnamon and sweetened with granulated sugar, this treat is unreal.
Served with double whipped cream and citrus syrup drizzled over each bowl, there is nothing not to love about this one. From young to old, across the universe, poached pears are an all-time favorite.
To make Citrus-Poached Pears, you will need the following ingredients:
In a saucepan, large enough to hold 2 pears, bring the peeled zest and juice from the lemon and orange with 500 ml water, cinnamon and sugar to a boil. Stir and cook until the sugar dissolves.
Once the sugar has dissolved, reduce heat and lower the pears into the syrup.
Simmer pears, gently, for 10-12 minutes until softened. Remove from heat and leave to cool.
Serve poached pears with double whipped cream and 4 tablespoons of the poaching liquid, drizzled over each serving.
