  • Summary

  • Simon and I are both dismayed to hear that pears have grown so "unpopular" that local growers have been ripping up their trees to try to plant something more lucrative. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-10-17/pears-out-of-favour-with-shoppers/102961848

    Why not just enlist us to plug the pear?

    We'd do a great job!

    There are so many great uses for this subtle and affordable fruit - not least of all one of the GOATS of salads! (Does not contain goat nor any other livestock.)


    DEAD EASY POACHED PEARS RECIPE:

    10 pears

    250 ml sweet wine

    100g sugar

    METHOD:

    Preheat the oven to 180C

    Slice the bottoms of the pears so that they can sit proudly upright.

    Arrange them to sit close together in a ceramic roasting tray.

    Top with a mingled mixture of the wine, sugar and any aromatics you like - eg., cloves, cinnamon, star anise. (Or leave these out!)

    Bake for 1 hour, basting with the syrup every 15 mins if you can be bothered.

    Serve with ice-cream, custard, yogurt or whatever you like. Use the leftovers to go with breakfast muesli or granola. DELICIOUS!
