POACHED ASIAN PEAR DESSERT RECIPE
This elegant Asian pear recipe takes mere minutes to prepare. It does most of the work itself while it sits. For dessert, serve by itself, over ice cream, or topped with whipped cream. For breakfast, it's great over yogurt with or without granola, or over oatmeal.

Steps:
- Combine sugar and spices with 5 cups water in a medium saucepan (large enough to accommodate the pears upright), and turn heat to high. Peel pears, leaving stems on, then core them.
- Lower pears into the water, and adjust heat to gentle simmer. Cook pears, turning them every 5 minutes or so, until they meet little resistance when prodded with a thin-bladed knife, usually 10 to 20 minutes. Turn off heat, and cool pears in liquid.
- Place pears on serving plates. (At this point they can also be covered and refrigerated up to a day; they should be brought to room temperature before serving.) Reduce the poaching liquid to about a cup (it can also be stored for a day), then spoon a little over each pear before serving.

ASIAN PEARS WITH STAR ANISE BAKED IN PARCHMENT
This recipe is versatile. You can use any firm-flesh pears or apples-or a combination; just be sure the size of the fruits you use is uniform. You can also try another dry whole spice (such as cinnamon or cloves) in place of the star anise.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut 4 pieces of parchment paper to measure 12 inches square each. Juice the lemon into a small bowl. Halve each pear horizontally. Dip the cut sides of the pears in the lemon juice (to prevent browning). Using a melon baller, remove the core from each half.
- Place 1 star anise in the cored center of each pear half. Drizzle 1 tablespoon honey over each star anise.
- Place 1 pear half, cut side up, on each piece of paper. Working with one at a time, hold a pear half in paper in the palm of your hand; gather the edges of the paper around the fruit with your free hand. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet.
- Pour 1 tablespoon vermouth into each pear half in parchment. Twist the paper tightly around the top of each fruit to seal. Bake 45 minutes; the pears should be tender. Transfer the packets to shallow bowls. Serve immediately, opening the packets at the table.
