Perfectly poached pears

One of my favorite deserts or breakfasts

2 Bosc pears
2 cinnamon sticks
5 cloves
Apple cider
Small baking dish that fits both pears

Preheat 400 degrees. Slice off the bottom of the pears making it flat and place them in the oven safe dish. Add cloves, cinnamon sticks and about 1’’ of apple cider. Bake in the oven for about 50-60 minutes.

Serve by its self or with ice cream, whip cream, crème fraiche or yogurt.

Since this was today’s breakfast I had it with Old Chatham maple sheep’s milk yogurt and a drizzle of maple syrup.
