Bosc pears poached in a lemony cinnamon syrup, cooked until just tender.
Ingredients
  • 3 lbs. bosc pears
  • water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 - 2 cinnamon sticks
  • pinch of salt
Instructions
  1. Add 3 cups of water to a large saucepan. Add the sugar and stir until dissolved over medium heat. Add the cinnamon sticks. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice into the liquid. Throw the rinds in the pan. Add the dash of salt.
  2. Peel the pears with a vegetable peeler. Cut in half. Use a melon baller and take out the area where the seeds are. Take the stem off, pulling downward on the pear. (there is usually a really fiberous stem in the top of the pear you want to remove. If it doesn't come easily out, don't worry about it, not all pears will have it)
  3. Add just enough additional water to cover them. Cook over low heat until pears are tender, about 20 - 30 minutes. Remove from heat and cool. Refrigerate.
