Poached pears are a great lighter alternative to a rich heavy dessert but still have loads of flavour to satisfy the most discerning sweet tooth. Serve with your favourite ice cream and experiment poaching different kinds of fruit.

Ingredients

  • 500 ml orange juice
  • 259 ml water
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2- inch piece of ginger peeled and sliced
  • Note: this will not work with powdered Ginger
  • teaspoon salt
  • 2 pears peeled, halved and cored ( I personally prefer to leave my pears whole)
  • Dairy ice cream to serve

DISCLAIMER

I recommend using the Metric measurements (instead of cups & spoons) for more accuracy and better results.

Instructions

  • In a saucepan, combine orange juice, water, sugar, ginger and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and add pears. Simmer until just tender, about 8 minutes. Remove pears and set aside.
  • Bring mixture to a boil and reduce until a little thicker, about 10 minutes. Strain sauce through a fine mesh sieve.
  • Serve each pear half with a scoop of ice cream and a few tablespoons of sauce.
