Poached Pears

Select firm but not overly ripe pears. I used Bosc pears gifted to us from Sheila Klein. The chai tea I found online at Thrive Market. It is concentrated with whole spices. Serving size is two pears per person.

Ingredients

Pears, 7 to 12

Chai tea, one carton, 32 ounces

Water, equal to chai carton

Preparation

Pour chai tea in a large pot. Peel pears, leaving stem. With sharp knife, cut out core of pear from the bottom and remove. Place each pear into chai tea. Add water. Gently bring to a slow boil, then lower heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Occasionally turn pears while cooking. Remove with a slotted spoon. Eat warm or cold.
