Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Pears
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups Water
Instructions
Peel the pears, leaving the stems intact, and core them from the bottom using a paring knife or a corer tool.
Rinse the fresh raspberries and set them aside.
In the slow cooker, combine the water, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Gently place the peeled pears into the slow cooker, standing them upright if possible.
Add the raspberries around the pears in the slow cooker, dispersing them evenly.
Set the slow cooker to low heat and allow the pears to poach for 2 hours, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Once cooked, carefully transfer the pears to serving plates or bowls using a slotted spoon.
Pour the raspberry sauce from the slow cooker through a fine mesh strainer to remove any seeds, if desired.
Drizzle the strained raspberry sauce over the pears and serve warm, or let cool and serve chilled.
