Coffee Poached Pears With Curried Honey Recipe

	Jo_jo_ba / All my dishes 2 years ago The perfect ending to a delicious Valentine’s Day meal, this light and luscious fruit dessert has a twist—an unusual honey sauce flavored with curry powder. Curry powder goes well with nearly any fruit, and adding fresh black pepper imparts one more unexpected layer of flavour!... More Prep:5m Cook:25m Servings:2	Jo_jo_ba

Ingredients

2 cups strong coffee

1/3 cup brown sugar

2 large ripe pears, peeled, halved, seed pods and stems removed

3 Tbs. honey

1/4 tsp. curry powder

Generous grind of freshly ground black pepper

Small edible flowers or mint sprigs for garnish

Directions

In medium skillet, bring coffee and brown sugar to a boil.

Slip four pear halves into sauce, and bring back to a boil. Turn heat down to slow simmer, and cover pan.

After 3 minutes, gently turn pears over with tongs, and continue poaching until tender but not pulpy, 8 to 15 minutes depending on ripeness of pears. Test tenderness with skewer.

Remove from heat, and let pears sit in hot poaching liquid, 10 minutes.

With slotted spoon or spatula, remove fruit from skillet, and place on two dessert plates. Cover and chill.

In small pan, heat honey, curry powder and pepper until honey is hot.

Cool honey sauce to room temperature.

To serve, drizzle honey sauce over pears
