Juice From Poached Pears

Juice From Poached Pears

Ingredients:
Juice from 4 large oranges
1 small piece ginger, peeled
4 whole cloves
1 cinnamon stick
4 ripe but firm pears, such as Bosc, peeled and cored

Directions:
Put all ingredients in a small saucepan and add enough water to ensure that
the pears are just covered. If any part of the pears are not covered in liquid, they
will turn brown.
Bring to a boil and simmer on low for about 30 minutes. Remove pears.
Bring remaining liquid to a boil and reduce until it is thick and syrupy. Remove
the cinnamon stick.
To serve, drizzle the warm pears with the syrup.
