In Praise of Poached Pears

 
 
 
Incredible how 10 minutes submerged in a sweetened, simmering liquid can turn pears into lusciously tender items that have an undeniably gourmet feel. That's what I was thinking as I edited a dessert recipe for the November issue of Vegetarian Times (which hits newsstands next week.) Ever since, I've been on a poached pear jag, serving them in salads and desserts, adding leftover ends and slices to sandwiches and even stirring the poaching liquid into my yogurt for a nothing-goes-to-waste morning treat.
