Easiest Ever Poached Pear - 2 Ingredients

Tuesday, 2 August 2016




This is probably one of the easiest desserts you'll ever make! And only two ingredients!

Serves 1

Ingredients:

1 Beurre Bosc Pear
1 Cup Marsala (more or less - depending on the size of the fruit)


(Note: Beurre Bosc Pears are the best for this, as they hold their shape when poached - Marsala is an Italian sweet wine readily available and inexpensive - you can also cut down on the wine and add a little water if you like.

Peel the pear, leaving the stalk intact and trim the bottom so it sits flat, place into a saucepan and pour over the Marsala. Cook on low heat, turning the pear at intervals, so the wine coats the pear and cooks evenly. You have to keep an eye on it and just keep basting, until the pear is soft.  Test with a fine skewer. The wine will eventually turn into a lovely thick sauce that can be poured over to serve. As it's quite sweet, I serve it with a little Greek yoghurt, Yum!
