Orange Poached Pears Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over medium heat, mix together the orange juice, brown and white sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Place pears into the syrup, and cover; simmer pears for 1 hour and 15 minutes, spooning sauce over pears every 10 minutes, and turning pears over twice during cooking time.
• Transfer pears to individual serving dishes. Continue cooking the syrup, stirring often, until thickened, about 15 more minutes, then mix in the walnuts. Pour the sauce over the pears to serve.

Steps:

• In a 4-quart saucepan, combine wine, sugar, orange juice, zest, cinnamon stick and cloves. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. While liquid is simmering, peel pears, leaving stem intact and being careful not to blemish the flesh of the pears. Slice 1/2-inch off the bottom of the pears to create a flat bottom. Gently place pears in poaching liquid, cover, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes to ensure even color, until pears are cooked but still firm. Remove saucepan from flame, uncover and cool with pears upright in pan. Once cool, cover and chill in refrigerator at least 3 hours or up to 24 hours, turning occasionally, if desired. Gently remove pears from liquid and allow to come to room temperature. Meanwhile, reduce liquid by about half over a medium-high flame for 15 minutes, until liquid is thicker and slightly syrupy. Remove from flame and let liquid come to room temperature. Drizzle each pear with 2 tablespoons syrup and serve.

Steps:

• Arrange 3 saucepans on the stove. In one, combine 4 cups water, 1 cup sugar, the white wine and the vanilla bean. In the next, combine 5 cups water, 1 cup sugar, the grenadine, lemon zest and lemon juice. In the last, combine 3 cups water, 1 cup sugar, the red wine, orange zest and orange juice. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, peel the pears and cut them in half from top to bottom. Using a melon baller, scoop out the seed pocket. Using a small knife, cut a shallow V down the center of the pear's cut face to remove the stem, strings, and bud end.
• Cut out 3 circles of wax paper the same size as the saucepans. Place 4 pear halves in each saucepan and rest a waxed paper circle on top. Bring to a gentle simmer and simmer without stirring until tender, about 15 minutes. When the pears can be pierced easily with a fork, they are done. Turn off the heat and let cool in the liquid. Serve at room temperature, or refrigerate in the liquid overnight to let the pears absorb even more color and flavor. Bring to room temperature before serving. To serve, arrange one pear half of each color in a spoke pattern on a white plate. Drizzle a spoonful of the grenadine poaching liquid over the pears and serve.

Steps:

• With an apple corer or sharp knife, carefully remove core from bottom of pears to within 1 in. of stem, leaving pears whole with stem.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Select a deep, ovenproof, nonreactive saucepan that will hold the pears snugly when they are placed in it upright. Pour the wine and orange juice into the pan.
• Peel the pears, taking care to leave the stems intact. If desired, remove the cores, digging them out with the point of a vegetable peeler or knife. As the pears are peeled, place them upright in the saucepan, coating them with the wine mixture so they do not discolor.
• Place the saucepan in the oven and bake the pears for 3 hours, basting occasionally, until they are very tender.
• Remove the pears from the oven and carefully transfer them to a dish that will still hold them upright.
• Add the orange zest and honey to the saucepan and boil the remaining liquid until it is reduced to about 1/3 cup, turns a caramel color and becomes very syrupy. Toward the end of the cooking, the syrup will start to boil up in the pan; remove it from the heat and allow it to settle to determine whether it needs additional boiling. Do not allow the syrup to scorch. Pour it over the pears. Refrigerate them until serving time.
• Serve the pears in chilled goblets or dishes, with sorbet or ice cream on the side, if desired.

Steps:

• Core pears from bottom, leaving stems intact. Peel pears; cut 1/4 in. from bottom to level if necessary. Place pears on their sides in a large saucepan. Add water, wine, sugar and vanilla.
