Pears are such underestimated fruits, don’t you think? It feels like they’re usually outshined by apples and kind of forgotten. But I really love to include them both in sweet and savory dishes, not to mention baked goods. They’re sweet, tender, delicious and so versatile. What I love most about them is the texture combined with the sweetness. It’s such an interesting mix, and I really can’t explain why I love them so much. One of my favorite ways of pairing pears is with cardamom! It’s such a wonderful and tasty combination. The tender and sweet pears combined with the aromatic, spiced yet citrusy cardamom is a match made in heaven. These poached pears can be used for several purposes. love making an easy and delicious dessert by just adding some ice cream or serving them as a side to a creamy pannacotta. Or including them in my breakfast by serving them with my oatmeal or like here, with some yogurt and granola. These cardamom poached pears are both gluten and sugar free and can easily be made vegan and paleo friendly.
A few tips:
- Use equally sized pears so that they have the same cooking time.
- You can adjust the amount of sweetener depending on how sweet you prefer your pears.
- I used whole cardamom seeds that I grounded using a mortal. I would recommend you to use cardamom seeds, but you can replace them with ground cardamom.
- Cook the pears until soft and tender, but not mushy or overcooked.
