Power Mix Poached Pears









Ingredients
  • 5 Bosc Pears
  • 1 litre of water
  • 500ml of white wine
  •  2 cups of caster sugar
  • 3 tbsp of Power Mix Tea
  • 1 vanilla pod
Method
  1. Peel all 5 pears and remove the core using a apple corer or a melon baller, the pears should appear to still be whole but with a hole in the bottom where the core was removed.
  2. In a large pot combine the water, wine and sugar. Place on the stove and bring to the boil.
  3. Once at a boil add the power mix, vanilla and pears and reduce the heat till at a simmer.
  4. Continue simmering for 40 minutes.
  5. Check the pears have been cooked all the way through by inserting a knife through until you reach the centre. If the knife comes out smoothly with no resistance your pears are ready. If it feels crisp or firm the pears need to continue simmering and continue to check them every 10 minutes. 
  6. Once the pears are finished they can be served hot or cold and are perfect with ice-cream or custard. If you are not serving your pears immediately keep them stored in the poaching liquid.
