Cherry-stained poached pears

Serves 8

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes, plus overnight standing time

Cooking Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

12 pears, peeled with stems intact
1 x 750 ml bottle Woolworths glühwein
200 g sugar
2 cinnamon sticks
2 star anise
1 orange, peel cut into strips
400 g cherries
Woolworths UHT whipping cream in a can, for serving

Method

1. Place the pears into a large saucepan with the wine, sugar, spices and orange peel. Cover the pears with a piece of greaseproof paper and simmer for 30 minutes.

2. Add the cherries, then allow to stand overnight so they stain the pears.

3. When ready to serve, remove the pears and reduce the liquid by half. Add the pears and serve with the cream.
