Poached Pomegranate Pears

Serves 2

Ingredients:

2 firm pears

1 bottle of pomegranate juice (around 250mL)

Pinch of ground ginger

 

Method:

  • Peel the pears and cut a section off the bottom so that they will sit flat in your small saucepan and not be too tall for the pan.
  • Place the pears in a small saucepan so they fit nice and snugly.
  • Pour in the pomegranate juice and add in the ginger, stirring gently so the ginger dissolves. The level of liquid should be a little over half-way up the pears. If you do not have enough juice due to the size of your saucepan, top it up with a little tap water.
  • Bring the liquid to the boil and then reduce to simmer on a low heat. Every couple of minutes spoon lashings of the juice on the exposed areas of the pear to ensure they poach.
  • Simmer for around 30 minutes, or until the pears are soft. They should turn a beautiful bright pink!
  • Serve hot/cold as a dessert or on top of your favourite yoghurt or porridge. Keep the juice and either enjoy it mulled, reduce it down to make a thicker sweet sauce, or pour it over your porridge. So many possibilities!
