COOKING WITH SPIRITS
Tequila Poached Pears
From Nancy Heishman, originally featured in Grace Mannon's " 11 Recipes That Use Tequila " on Taste of
Home's website. This unique dessert features the uncommon but refreshing combination of fresh pears,
mint and tequila.
INGREDIENTS
2 cups water
1 can (11.3 oz) pear nectar
1 cup tequila
½ cup sugar
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 teaspoons grated lime zest
1 cinnamon stick (3 inches)
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
8 whole Anjou pears, peeled
Sweetened whipped cream, optional
Fresh mint leaves
DIRECTIONS
1. In a large saucepan, combine the
first 8 ingredients. Bring to a boil over
medium-high heat; boil 2 minutes,
stirring constantly.
TASTE OF HOME
2. Place pears in a 4- or 5-quart slow
cooker; add liquid. Cook, covered, on low until tender,
4-5 hours. Remove cinnamon stick and discard. Pour 3
cups cooking liquid in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil;
cook, uncovered, until liquid is reduced to 1 cup, making
a thicker sauce. This should take about 20 minutes.
3. Halve pears lengthwise and core them. Serve with the
sauce and, if desired, whipped cream and mint leaves.
