Cómo preparar Anise Pears

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon aniseed.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
Gently add 4 firm, ripe pears (peeled, cored, and halved or quartered if large).
Once the water returns to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 6-10 minutes, or until the pears are tender but still hold their shape. Cooking time will depend on the ripeness and size of your pears.
Remove the pears from the poaching liquid and let them cool slightly.
Arrange the cooled pears in a shallow bowl or serving dish.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the pears to chill thoroughly before serving. Enjoy!
