Emily's tip
This recipe works
well with plums,
too. You could
also try using
whatever fruit
teas you have
at home and
adding a
cinnamon stick
and vanilla pod
in with the
poaching liquid,
if you have them.
Method
-
Put the sugar, honey, jelly and tea bags into a big saucepan with 600ml water and bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the pear halves, then cover and simmer for 12-15 mins until the pears are just tender – poke them with a skewer or the tip of a knife.
-
Lift out the pears, then turn up the heat, throw in the cranberries and boil for a few mins until syrupy. Discard the tea bags. Serve the pears with the warm syrup poured over and a spoonful of crème fraîche or yogurt.
