Spiced poached pear with beet

Poached Pear, the classic French dessert is such a delightfully flavorful, very elegant and impressive. It has a great balance of sweet, spice and fruity flavors, and the deep red colour turns this into a beautiful centerpiece dessert too. I have slightly modified my recipe so that it can be served to kids as well.
Poached Pears make a fantastic dinner party dessert and can be prepared in advance. Pears have such a mild flavour that you need to use spice in a considered way to complement their fabulous taste.

- 1
Peel the pears, leaving stem intact and being careful not to blemish the flesh of the pears. So your end product will be neat, clean and spotless.
- 2
Peel the Beetroot skin and cut them into thin large slices.
Place the beet slices into a saucepan, just large enough to hold all the pears.
- 3
Pour in approximate 500ml of water, add the cinnamon stick and rosemary, cover and bring to the boil. Cinnamon gives the mild spicy flavour, you may add some cloves as well to give a good spice hint.
- 4
When it boils and the beet releases it's colour, add sugar / honey and then gently place in the pears one by one into the poaching liquid. The pears should be completely immersed in the water. Cover and simmer for 25 minutes, turning every 5 minutes to ensure even colour and the pears are tender.
- 5
Remove the saucepan from flame and allow it to cool. I have kept it overnight, immersed in the syrup for the deep colour, this is the great tip to obtain the bright maroon colour, but this is optional.
Gently remove the pears from liquid and boil the syrup further until the liquid becomes slightly thicker. Off the flame and let the syrup come to room temperature.
- 6
Serve each pear by drizzling some syrup and scope of ice-cream per person.

Poached Pears Almond Cake
I decided to poach my pears the "Poire belle Hélène way" in a spiced syrupy water for more depth of flavors. Beautiful isn't it? I noticed that the pears in most of the pear cake loaf recipes weren't cored. I wonder how they eat the pear cakes. I of cos cleaned the bottom and cored the pears with a melon baller. If you don't have a melon baller, you can use a small sharp knife. Be sure not to damage the pears. In closing, I really hope you will give this recipe a try.

Easy Pear Compote
I've loved pears since I was a child. They are delicious fresh, but I wanted to use them when cooking both sweet and savory dishes, so I made a compote.Since the pears will be simmered, choose pears that are on the firm side. You can serve the compote with ice cream, chop it up and put it in yogurt, or use it for hors d'oeuvres, tarts and other sweets. Recipe by Usagi no Cima.
Pickled Pears

Beet Salad
This beet salad is a very different (read: healthier ;) ) version of the beet salad I knew growing up in Newfoundland. It takes a bit of time in terms of prepping your ingredients (mainly the beets and carrots), but it's worth it.This is a great summer salad to serve with a BBQ, or on its own as a lunch. You can adjust the ingredient amounts for lesser portions- this salad serves approximately 6-10 servings if used as a side dish.

You can also use onions or carrots. Drain the pickled herrings well. Recipe by Nashi-

I used to often make pear tarts using canned pears, and was asked by my family to make them again. When I used this season's pears, it turned out more tasty than I expected.For the custard cream, you can use just 1 egg, or add the remaining 1/2 egg from the pastry dough.Adjust the amount of sugar depending on the sweetness of your pears.Substitute with canned pears or your choice of seasonal fruit.Chill in the refrigerator before serving.

Pear Compote in Jelly With Panna Cotta
I wanted to enjoy eating some pears that were a bit lacking just as-is.I think you can use 200g of the syrup from the pear compote.Even pears that are not so sweet will become amazingly delicious when poached like this.The pear compote becomes really delicious when it's chilled in the syrup (the syrup becomes tastier too), so to make the jelly, use well chilled syrup that has been re-heated.

Asian Pear Caramel and Rum Confit
Shinkou-nashi variety Asian pears are huge, and weigh more than 1000 g per fruit. My husband and I couldn't finish one between the two of us, so I cooked the leftover half to top plain yogurt. This is really easy, and healthy too. You just need 6 grams of granulated sugar for the caramel.You only need one pan for this. After mixing the pear, caramel and rum sauce, cover with a piece of aluminum foil and let the flavors permeate the pear with residual heat. We like to have it on plain yogurt sprinkled with cinnamon powder. Recipe by Ekekohonnpo
Savory Pickled Beets
So many of the recipes for pickled beets out there call for buckets of sugar and spices that are better suited for pies than for pickles in my humble opinion.This recipe goes the tart savory direction with them instead.Substitute dill seeds or even a sprig of fresh dill for the caraway for a tasty variation.#cookingwithyui

To tell the truth, my kids and I both dislike Asian pears.But if they are made into compote, we can eat them! Recipe by Shinamoro-rus

A chilled bowl of gazpacho soup is the perfect complement to a nice day. Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Spain is a central component of this dish as it enhances the flavor and is crucial to cohesiveness and texture of gazpacho, helping to perfectly emulsify the fresh vegetables. The beauty of gazpacho is that it never tastes the same, with endless flavor combinations. We present you with this original and refreshing beet gazpacho accompanied by a lovely mango vinaigrette, which can be used in a variety of other dishes! Let this colorful and flavorful dish brighten up your day.
