CIDER POACHED PEARS

Steps:

• Peel pears, and slice in half lengthwise.
• Leave the stems but remove the core.
• In a large, shallow skillet, bring apple cider and spices just to boil over medium heat.
• Add pears.
• Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer pears until tender, about 20-25 minutes. I flip my pears over half way through.
• Serve pears warm with cider spooned over the top.

CIDER POACHED PEARS WITH GINGER SAUCE AND CARAMELISED NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 175 degrees celsius fan assisted.
• Peel your pears and cut them into halves. Use a pairing knife to remove the butt end and the core. You could also use a teaspoon to remove the core. Set aside.
• Bring the cider to a boil along with the ginger in a sauce pan just large enough to fit the pear halves side by side with no overlap. Once boiling place the pears cut side down into the pot and cover with a lid. Simmer the pear halves for 20-30 minutes, flipping them over halfway through. When a tooth pick goes through the pear easily they are done.
• While the pears cook break the pecans and walnuts into small pieces and mix them with the sesame seed and maple syrup. Place the mixture on a lined baking sheet and spread it out into a single layer. Place in the middle of the oven and toast for 10 minutes, giving them a mix halfway through. Once toasted let them cool and then break the caramelised nut and seed mixture into small pieces.
• Once the pears are soft remove them from the pot and set aside. Also remove the ginger pieces if you used fresh ginger. Mix the corn or arrowroot starch with the water until smooth and pour into the simmering cider while stirring continuously. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes or until it thickens into a glaze like sauce.
• Serve the pears in bowls with the ginger cider sauce and I suggest some vegan whipped cream, top with a sprinkling of the caramelised nuts and seeds.
• Serve with:Vegan whipped cream, vanilla cashew cream, vegan custard orvegan vanilla ice cream

Peel, core and halve the pears then place them in the bubbling syrup, rounded side up.They should fit the pan snugly. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for about 30 min or so until soft but still perfectly shaped.Once cooked, remove the pears from the syrup and put in a shallow serving dish. Taste the syrup, if it is too sweet add a dash of lemon juice. Heat again until syrupy and pour over the pears, dust lightly with cinnamon. Whisk the mascarpone, vanilla, icing sugar and milk. (it takes longer than regular cream). Fold in walnuts and ginger and refrigerate until ready to serve.
