Poached Asian Pears Nov 8th 2011, 10:08 Sweet Asian Pears are poached in plum wine, in this recipe from popular Chinese chef Martin Yan, (through the Melissa's Produce website). Yield: Serves 4 Ingredients: 3 cups Water 2/3 cup Sugar 1/4 cup Plum Wine 3 tablespoon Lemon Juice 4 slices Ginger Root lightly crushed 4 Asian Pears 2 tablespoons Plum Sauce Chopped Crystallized Ginger for garnish Preparation: 1. Combine water, sugar, wine, lemon juice, and ginger in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. 2. Peel Asian Pears with a vegetable peeler, keeping stems intact. If you wish, remove cores from bottom of pears with a melon baller. As you peel each pear, place it in the liquid. Simmer, uncovered, until pears are barely tender, 20 - 30 minutes, depending on ripeness of fruit. Turn pears occasionally during cooking. 3. Lift out pears with a slotted spoon and place in a wide bowl. Simmer syrup until it is reduced to 1 cup. Add plum sauce to syrup; cook until heated through. Pour syrup over pears. Let stand until cool. 4. Serve at room temperature or cover and refrigerate, then serve cold. Sprinkle a little chopped crystallized ginger over each serving as garnish.
