Poached pears belong to autumn. And instead of currant juice, a sweet brown beer is used here. This beer caramelizes into a thick syrup and the spices make a delicious flavor
I put my hand on pears for poaching. Indeed, they really belong to this season. Normally I make them with currant juice, but this time I decided to stew them in a delicious brown beer. That beer caramelized in the pan and produced a delicious thick syrup sauce that nicely combined with the sweet pears. A bowl of vanilla ice cream was added and the desserts went off.
BECAUSE…
- you are using beer add orange instead of lemon, which combines nicely with the taste of the dark beer.
- You don't want to eat seeds, drill the seeds from the bottom with the apple drill after you peel the pears. This way you get the pears, but no seeds.
- You want an evenly stewed pear, turn them around in the moisture every hour.
