SPICED POACHED PEARS

Love this easy, peasy recipe that tastes like Christmas!

Ingredients:

2 Pears, peeled with stalk left on

1 orange, juiced

3 Cardamom pods

3 Cloves

1 Cinnamon stick

1 Star anise

Method:

1- Pour the orange juice into a saucepan with the all the spices

2- Bring to a boil and then turn the heat down to a simmer

3- Add the pears, coat them in the ‘spiced juice’ and leave to simmer with the lid on until cooked

4- Remove pears and allow the sauce to thicken to preferred consistency, ready for pouring

I love to have this warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream, or add to your morning muesli or granola with a dollop of greek or coconut yoghurt – too good!
