Ingredients
- 6 Asian Pears
- 1 bottle of Yunnan white wine
- 400 ml water
- 400 ml white sugar
- 10 pieces of whole star anise
- 20 grams of fresh ginger, sliced (1 small ladle)
- 10 grams of cinnamon bark
Instructions
- Put all the above in a large bottomed pot (we use a rectangle low rimmed pan).
- Bring to a low boil for 10 minutes.
- Turn the ingredients over so they can be exposed to the water and heat evenly.
- Peel the pears and cut out the core and cut the pears in half. Slice the pears into ¼” thick slices.
- Simmer slices for 20 minutes, in the seasoned liquid, add your previous batches liquid (if possible) and turn pears every few minutes. Once done, transfer to serving dish.
- Cool the liquid and save in a bowl, cover and refridgerate for next time. If you save the liquid for the next time, you will not have to use so much water and sugar.
