Zubereitung von Midori Poached Pears
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup Midori, 1 cup sugar, 1 cinnamon stick, 2 star anise, zest of 1 orange and 1 lemon, and 2 cups water.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- While the syrup simmers, peel 4 ripe but firm pears, leaving the stems intact. Remove the base of each pear.
- Gently place the pears into the simmering Midori syrup, ensuring they are mostly submerged.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces the pears. Cooking time may vary depending on pear ripeness; check for doneness frequently.
- Carefully remove the pears from the syrup and let them cool slightly.
- Reserve about ½ cup of the poaching liquid.
- Spoon 2 tablespoons of the reserved poaching liquid over each pear.
- Garnish each pear with thin curls of orange zest and fresh mint sprigs.
- Serve immediately with a dollop of raspberry coulis (recipe not included, but easily found online).
