TIPS

Making poached pears is pretty simple, let’s have a look at a few bits of advice to make sure that everything goes well.

*choose ripe pears for this poached pear recipe, for best results they shouldn’t be too ripe nor unripe, as they won't poach well.

*if you use very ripe pears, reduce cooking time, they may be ready in 20 mins.

*for a nicer look, cutting the base of his pears will allow them to stay upright.

*when the pears are ready, remove them from the liquid. Carry on cooking the liquid to cook it down to about half, to get a richer sauce.
