Poached pears recipe.
A poached pear recipe can be used as a dessert or to even accompany another dessert recipe.
Rather than using red or white wine to poach the pears, Chef uses pear cider to make a syrup that is poured over the cooked pears.
Pear cider compliments and helps bring out the flavour of the poached pears.
This is a real simple recipe to cook yet when your guests taste these delicious poached pears they will think you have been cooking and preparing them for hours.
Just follow the step by step recipe instructions below.

This looks nice and easy! And a sort of celebration of summer fruits! I bet this will be wonderful as is, and even better with cake and some ice-cream!!
That is one of my favorite ways of preparing pears!

I tasted poached pears in my office cafeteria and fell in love with it..where can i find pear cider?
Parita, I have never been to Switzerland so at a guess local supermarket or specialist wine shops maybe?
Wooooooooooooooow....feel like gulping one right now....very yum....
Jeena - These pears look beautiful and refreshing! What a great idea. I guess it would work with apple cider, too. I don't think we have pear cider here in the US - wish we did.
seeing the fork pierce the tender flesh of those pears makes me really wish my teeth were involved instead of that utensil! delightful, jeena!
I love your idea of using cider! I like texture and sweetness of poached pears, but not the strong flavor of the wine or whatever alcohol is used. This is a poached pear that I would LOVE.
Poached pears with cider...thats a comfort food...quick and easy to prepare too....thanks for sharing this lovely recipe :)
Jeena- Great photos, I love your recipes, fantastic.
