Pears Poached In Vanilla Spiked Syrup



Serves 4

Ingredients:
2/3 cup castor sugar
1½ cups water
2 teaspoons concentrated vanilla extract or 4 teaspoons vanilla essence
4 pears, peeled and stalk left on
fresh cream, for serving
cinnamon, for dusting

Combine castor sugar, water and vanilla extract or essence in a medium sized deep saucepan, stirring over a medium high heat until sugar has dissolved.


Bring vanilla syrup to boil, place pears on their sides into saucepan. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, turning pears over halfway through cooking time.


Remove pears and set aside. Boil syrup uncovered on high heat for approximately 4 minutes until syrup is reduced and thickened. Place pears into serving dishes and drizzle with syrup. Serve hot or cold with fresh cream dusted with cinnamon.
