• Bring to a boil.
• Add pears and more water, if needed, to cover them.
• Simmer, covered, until pears are tender when pierced, about 30 minutes.
• Put pears in 6 shallow-rimmed dishes or shallow bowls.

• Pour syrup over pears.
• Cool, cover and chill until cold or up to 2 days.

POACHED PEARS IN HONEY, GINGER AND CINNAMON SYRUP

Steps:

• In a saucepan large enough to hold all the pears, combine the wine, Simple Syrup, cinnamon stick halves, honey, and ginger. Scrape in the seeds from the vanilla bean and add the bean and seeds to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the honey has melted. Add the pears and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pears are tender. Remove the pears from the liquid and allow to cool.
• Continue to simmer the liquid until it thickens and is reduced by half, about 15 to 20 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Remove the cinnamon stick halves and the vanilla bean and discard.
• Place each pear on a small serving plate with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Drizzle with the honey, ginger and cinnamon syrup. Serve immediately.
• In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool.

POACHED PEARS

Steps:

• Peel the pears, and place in medium saucepan. Add wine, sugar, vanilla bean, cinnamon stick, orange peel, lemon peel, cloves, star anise, bay leaf, and just enough water to cover pears.
• Set saucepan over high heat, and bring liquid to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook, occasionally stirring gently, over medium-low heat, until a paring knife easily pierces pears, about 15 minutes. Remove pan from heat; let pears cool in liquid.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer pears to a plate. Pour poaching liquid through a sieve set over a bowl. Discard solids, and return liquid to saucepan. Place over medium-high heat, and cook until liquid has been reduced to a syrup that coats the back of a wooden spoon, about 45 minutes. Let cool; store pears in an airtight container until ready to serve.
• When ready to serve, arrange pears on a platter or on individual plates, and drizzle poaching liquid over them.

POACHED PEARS WITH GINGER

Steps:

• Bring all the ingredients except the pears to a simmer over medium-high heat in a large saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, peel the pears and cut them in half lengthwise. Use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop out the core and seeds from each half, leaving the stems intact. Trim the fibrous strip from the center with a paring knife. Gently lower the pears into the pot. If they are not completely covered by liquid, lay a piece of parchment paper directly on the pears.
• Cook until a paring knife slides easily into the pears, meeting slight resistance, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool in liquid 30 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the pears to a large bowl; cover with parchment paper. Cook the liquid over medium heat until syrupy, about 15 minutes; discard the vanilla pod and ginger. Let cool. Serve 2 pear halves in each bowl; spoon the syrup over the pears.
