Here is the recipe for Cheater Poached Pears (I misspoke, it’s in the Metal seasonal sheet - find it in the Resource library). Also, here is a demo video on YouTube on how to make poached Asian pears.

Cheater Poached Pears

• 1 can of pears

• Cinnamon (and/or other warming herbs)

• Honey

• Herbs such as jujube (da zao) and goji berries, optional

• Granola, optional
  

1. Take out one serving of pears from the can (serving size determined by you!), or more if you’re sharing. Place in a pot with a bit of the juice from the can and warm over low heat. (You can also microwave in short 30-second bursts in a microwave-safe dish until warm.)

2. If using the optional herbs, add them to the pot with the pears. Once the pears are warm, cover them and let them steep for 5-10 additional minutes. Eat the herbs along with the pears! (Added herbs won’t work well in the microwave.)

3. Place warmed pears in a bowl, sprinkle cinnamon, and drizzle honey over the top of the pears - enjoy! Drink the juice, too. You can also add a bit of granola to the top if you’d like to make it more of a snack (a cheater’s crumble?).

4. Any unused pears from the can should be kept in the fridge in the remaining juice for up to 5 days. (Do not cook before storing the pears - heat them up each time you will be eating them.)
