Project: Spicy Poached Pears
EN
A few weeks ago me and my
dad went visiting an old acquaintance (hiya Corlien if you read this!!) of us who has a really nice fruit
orchard as well! Therefore we came home with a really nice filled box with
their fresh produces: apples & pears! Yum! Thank you again!
And thanks to that we didn't need to buy any fruits for the following weeks. Apart eating the fruit I’ve
used the pears in a dessert as well: spicy poached pears with a sweet spicy
syrup! Maybe you've spot them already at my Instagram. I always what to know how a cooked pears taste like and they sure
looks so fancy on a plate when well executed! Luckily they are easy to make
and therefore I really hope you’ll make them as well because they fit perfectly for the fall!

Een paar weken geleden
gingen ik en mijn papa op bezoek bij een oude kennis van ons (hoiii Corlien
als je dit leest!) en zij hebben een mooie fruitboomgaard! Daarom kwamen we
ook thuis met een mooi gevulde doos met hun verse producten: appels en
peren! Lekker! Nogmaals bedankt!
We hoefde dus daarom de
aankomende weken lekker geen fruit te kopen. Naast het eten van de fruit heb
ik de peren in een dessert vorm gebruikt, namelijk: kruidige gepocheerde
peren met een zoete siroop! Wellicht heb je ze al gezien op mijn Instagram! Gepocheerde peren stonden al een tijdje op mijn receptenlijstje en bij kookprogramma’s ogen deze peren vaak delicaat en
smakelijk uit op een bordje. En ze zijn ook gelukkig makkelijk te maken ook nog en ik
hoop dat je mijn receptje uitprobeert. Lekker voor de niet zo koude herfst
dagen ha.

Also key ingredients to make a lovely chai latte. Here for the recipe!
At this point, the kitchen smelled pretttty good!
It reminded me of a chicken leg ha.
Da Steps:
- On top of a medium-heat is a sauce pan with: the 3 cups of brewed tea and sugar! Stir until sugar has dissolved.
- Then add all the spices and at last the pears. Bring the liquid to simmer then cover with a lid, reduce heat until pears are well cooked for about 30-40 minutes. It depends on the ripeness of the pears so you can make sure by poking it with a knife.
- Scoop out the pears and let them cool off.
- Now we are making the spicy syrup: bring the poaching liquid to a boil and continue boiling until it's thicken really up (around 1½ cup). Let it cool.
- Serve the poached pear with the syrup.
Good luck!
Halloween! What are your plans?
Wow this is looking so delicious !

YUM. One of my favourite fruits :) and my favourite way to add a twist to them. Now all I want is poached pear with cream & pancakes =.=
ReplyDeleteThis is a very classic chinese style recipe! Love the use of cinnamon, star anise and cloves! I love those spices in braised dark sauce pork belly here in singapore/malaysia! Those make for such amazing fragrance! I've been wanting to try poaching pears in red wine actually...gotta try that sometime! I've got no plans for halloween though, I don't really celebrate it!
ReplyDeleteOeh jaa dit wil ik proberen! Het ziet er echt heerlijk uit! C: en ik hou van peertjes, lekker herfstachtig!
ReplyDeleteLiefs, Tessa

I've never cooked a pear before; I usually just eat them raw! But I've been to a few fancy restaurants that served cooked (poached?) pears :) I went to an orchard with the swim team at the end of our fall "break" (we had training all throughout). The trip was initially an apple picking trip, but there was also a pumpkin patch, and so in the spirit of Halloween, we decided to go to the pumpkin patch. I didn't end up buying any, but I got some cool pictures, and it was so nice bonding with everyone. And eating the delicious food there (pumpkin pie funnel cake!) -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey's
