POACHED PEARS

     Hi everyone, I want to share with you my version of poached pears. It's one of my favourite actually, I think it's a healthy choice to finish a good meal especially on occasions or just a simple friends or family gatherings. Pair with your choice of ice cream or pudding, garnish it with mint or just serve just like that. Very easy to cook and rewarding result, everyone in the family will surely like.

                                          Ingredients:

                                           Pears 1.5 kg. (I used conference pears 🍐)
                                           1 C sugar
                                           1 quill of Cinnamon stick/ 4" approx.
                                            5 pcs. Cloves
                                           1 pc. Star Anise
                                            Orange or lemon peel
                                            1 bottle of red wine of your choice (I used Italian)

Peel the pears, wash and arrange in a pot. Pour the wine and add all the spices. Add a bit of water just enough to cover the pears and cover with baking paper on top before putting the lid on. Boil in medium to low fire for an hour or until soft. Cool it down before taking out of the pot. You can boil the red wine sauce to reduce it until it thickens.
