Undressing the Fruits 🍐

Hello friends. I am embarking upon an adventure this evening because I hate to waste food and I have some pairs that are going bad. So my friends have suggested that I poach these babies. I have never poached a pair so I shall undress the fruits tonight and see what happens. I'm going to document my journey here. Please give all your feedback on poaching. I hope I but this is not the last time. It looks delicious. Let's see

Okay, so far, so good. The pears are officially undressed and halved. Now it's time to scoop out the junk in the middle

Next, I had to scoop out the seeds and and put there and I don't have a melon ball scooper. This would have been much more beautiful if I did so this this part requires a little of finesse if you're using a spoon. Mine are not beautiful and perfect, but I got the job done

And then a cinnamon stick. I have a cinnamon stick. I pretty much don't have anything else. So instead of ginger, cloves and star anise or Anne, someone help me. I use some coriander and fresh nutmeg and also some allspice. So no idea how that's going to turn out. I also didn't measure it. I just did a little boom, boom, boom. Let's see what happens. So let's see what happens. I melted, not melted

These fruits came out and they are tender enough to stick a fork through so they are ready to get their beauty sleep for the night. And I'll see them in the morning. I have to let you know that I wish I could record a smell and send it to you because this smells like the best big hug you have ever received in your life. Very comforting and life affirming that's let's see how they taste in the morning

Success!

I highly highly recommend this recipe and or you doing whatever you want, which is what I kind of did here. I had one of the poached pears last night with some vanilla ice cream, and I had a add a bit of cinnamon on top. It was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend adding some coriander to your protein process. It added such a distinct, interesting flavor. Yeah. Highly recommend. I think I'm going to try to poach apples next
