Very pretty indeed! Lovely idea to poach in tea – I’ve not seen that before.

Smithoniusandsonata – They go pink just through the cloves?

Helen – Thank you!

Lucy – Ah, the cooking is the easy part. It’s the rest that sucks.

Roo – Enjoy!

Naminami – Ooooh, jasmine tea. That sound great.

Pia – Thank you so much again!

Robin – I made it as I poached then just strained it afterwards. Add a little less tea than you’d use for a cup though as it’ll be brewing for longer.

Oh joy, I have an orange dulce tea just waiting for me to make this. Do you think I can just make the tea as I poach? Or should I be using previously brewed tea?

Pretty indeed I’ve poached pears in red wine and jasmine tea as well – a great and light dessert!

This is a new twist that I have never done with poaching a pear, and I love pears, so I am going to have to give this one a try!

Cooked pears aren’t my thing but husband loves them . Must try this for him instead . Usually I use those rock hard cooking pears that take ages to cook and put cloves in the water and sugar about half way through . They go a very pretty pink .
