Poached Pears in Vanilla Crema

poached-pearCandy Almonds

½ cup water
1 cup white sugar
½ cup whole almonds

Toss all ingredients in a sauce pot. Boil for 10 min until it turns into syrup. Transfer to wax paper and separate using a fork. Do this very quickly or the almonds will stick together.

Poached Pears

1 pear
32 oz of pear juice
1 cinnamon stick

Bring to a boil then lower heat to as low as the stove top goes. Submerge pears using a normal dinner plate just small enough to fit the pot. Let the pears sit in the hot liquid for 1 hour.

TIP: pour the pear juice back in the bottle, it will be delicious for up to a week.

Vanilla Mascarpone

½ cup mascarpone
1 tsp honey
½ tsp vanilla extract

Mix all together. Keep cool until ready to serve.

TIP: Top this off with fresh blueberries.
