Rosemary Poached Pears with Almonds
Choose pears that are ripe but not mushy. These pears are lovely with a crunchy, not-too-sweet wafer or cookie.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (250 mL) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) blanched almonds
- 2 strips lemons peel (about 2 inches/5 cm long)
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) lemon juice
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
- 6 pears, peeled, halved and cored
Preparation
In saucepan, bring sugar, almonds, lemon peel, juice, rosemary and 1-3/4 cups (425 mL) water to boil; boil until sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes. Add pears and bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer until pears are fork-tender but not mushy, 10 to 20 minutes, depending on variety and ripeness. Let cool; refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 1 week.
Makes 6 servings.
