Mānuka Honey Poached Pears with Whole Spices

How to make

8 servings


Ingredients:

4 cups water
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 cinnamon sticks
3 star anise
8 whole cloves
4 pears, halved, peeled cored
2 tablespoons or more ACTIVIST Mānuka honey


Method:

Bring the water, brown sugar and spices to boil in a heavy large saucepan. Reduce heat to medium low, cover and simmer 5 minutes to develop flavors. Add the pears to the poaching liquid and simmer gently, stirring occasionally until the pears are just tender when pierced with a thin skewer, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and gently stir the honey into the pears and poaching liquid and cool completely.

Store the pears in the poaching liquid in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
