Poached Pear

Poaching pears intensifies their sweetness.
Ingredients
1 pear
3 tbsp O.J.
1 cup water
1/4 tsp lemon zest
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
1. Peel pear.
2. Simmer 20-30 minutes.
3. Remove pear. Reduce sauce. Serve on top. Enjoy!
Notes: This was the first poached pear recipe I tried. You can really taste the lemon zest
Notes 2: Before the reduction, the pear picks up no flavor and it would be a no. After the reduction, it is a yes. Can taste cinnamon. It doesn't matter if you peel the pear.
