(Recipe) Delicious Sugar-Free Poached Pears for Autumn

Servings: 4

Preparation Time: 10 minutes prep,
40 minutes cooking

Ingredients

  • 4 poaching pears
  • 1 liter red grape juice
  • 500 grams coconut yogurt
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 2 pieces star anise

Equipment

  • Pot

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pot
    Use a pot that’s just big enough to hold all the pears standing upright. Pour the red grape juice into the pot.

  2. Peel and Add the Pears
    Peel the pears and place them upright in the grape juice. Add the cinnamon stick and star anise, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

  3. Simmer Until Tender
    Let the pears cook for around 40 minutes. Test their tenderness by gently poking with a fork; if the fork goes in easily, they’re ready. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the size of the pears.

  4. Cool in the Juice
    Remove the pot from the heat and allow the pears to cool slightly in the juice for enhanced flavor.

  5. Serve with Coconut Yogurt
    Right before serving, spoon the coconut yogurt onto plates and place a pear in the center of each. Drizzle with a little honey for an extra hint of natural sweetness if desired.
