Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pears (ripe but firm, such as Bosc or Anjou)
• 4 cups Water
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 piece Cinnamon stick
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Butter
• 1 pinch Salt
• 4 leaves Fresh mint (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the pears, keeping the stems intact. Slice a small portion off the bottom so they can stand upright if desired.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, combine water, honey, vanilla extract, and the cinnamon stick. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 3

Carefully place the pears into the poaching liquid, ensuring they are fully submerged. You can use a small plate to weigh them down if needed.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and let the pears simmer gently for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a knife. Rotate the pears occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Step 5

While the pears are poaching, prepare the brown sugar cream. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine heavy cream, brown sugar, butter, and a pinch of salt.

Step 6

Whisk the mixture continuously until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 7

Once the pears are tender, use a slotted spoon to carefully remove them from the poaching liquid. Allow them to drain on a plate.

Step 8

To serve, place a poached pear on each plate and drizzle generously with the warm brown sugar cream.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Honey Poached Pears with Brown Sugar Cream!
