Vanilla Cinnamon Poached Pears

Everybody loves sweet treats right? So what is better than a sweet dessert involving fruit, vanilla notes, and cinnamon spice? Nothing screams sweater weather more than a warm poached pear drizzled in cinnamon and vanilla spices. One of the reasons I love this recipe is its simplicity, it has minimal steps and ingredients making it a go-to treat. When poaching pears you want to make sure you have the right type of pear for your poaching style as they all cook differently, and they all have different flavors. The pear type I would recommend for this recipe is a bosc pear. They have a yellowy-brownish color and have a slimmer more elegant shape. These pears are going to stay more tender, and hold flavor better,  as well as hold their shape.

 Poached Pears 

  • 1 Tbls. of vanilla extract or 1 tsp. of vanilla paste
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 4 cups of water
  • 4 Bosc pears 
  • 2 Tbls. of Cinnamon 
Step 1
 Bring the four cups of water to a boil in a medium/large saucepan. After the water has begun boiling add sugar and vanilla. While the sugar is melting peel all four pears and remove any bruising. 

Step 2 
 After all the sugar has dissolved stir in cinnamon until the sauce has become a dark brown color. You won't want the cinnamon to be in the syrup longer than 30 minutes or it will burn. Then add the pears and leave them on medium heat, turning each side occasionally. Cook for roughly 30 minutes or until the pears seem tender. 

Step 3
  To serve the pears serve them in a bowl or wide cup with the sauce on the side.

My favorite thing about this is when someone walks up to me to order one because they never know how to pronounce Acai. Now the hardest thing when making an Acai bowl is knowing what to top the bowl with. Luckily for you, I have a never-ending list of toppings and how to pair them. Personally, I like to arrange my acai bowl toppings in a pretty arrangement because honestly doesn't everything taste better when it is pretty.
