How to Make Blue Mountain Coffee Rum Poached Pears

In a saucepan large enough to hold the pears comfortably, combine the brewed coffee, sugar, and cinnamon stick. Heat gently over medium-low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
While the coffee mixture simmers, carefully peel the pears using a vegetable peeler. Leave the stems intact.
Gently place the peeled pears into the simmering coffee mixture. Ensure the pears are mostly submerged.
Poach the pears for 20-25 minutes, turning them occasionally with tongs to ensure even poaching and prevent sticking. The pears are done when they are tender but still hold their shape.
Remove the pears from the saucepan and set aside. Turn off the heat under the coffee mixture.
Stir in the rum into the warm coffee mixture. Let the pears cool slightly in the spiced rum coffee.
Transfer the poached pears to a shallow serving bowl or individual glasses. Spoon the delicious coffee syrup generously over the pears.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the pears to chill completely before serving. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a sprig of fresh mint, if desired.
