Tipps

Pick the right pears

Choose pears that are just barely ripe for this recipe. Overly ripe pears will go too mushy when poached.

Removing the pears

Take care when removing the pears from the poaching liquid so they don't fall apart. Using a slotted spoon can be helpful.

Serving suggestion

Serve the poached pears as a stand-alone dessert or with a dollop of lactose-free whipped cream, if tolerated.
