Poached pear

Poached pears are a dessert dish in which pears are gently cooked in a liquid, usually a mixture of sugar or wine , water, and spices such as vanilla and cinnamon . The pears are usually peeled and cored before being simmered in the poaching liquid until they are tender. They are typically served warm with a variety of accompaniments such as ice cream , whipped cream , or a sauce made from the poaching liquid. Poaching is a gentle cooking method that preserves the shape and texture of the fruit while infusing it with flavor.
