BEER PAIRING
Pair with a Cider like Crispin Pacific Pear
Flavors of fresh-pressed pears in Crispin Pacific Pear connect the cider to the poached pears, and hints of stone fruit in the beer add complexity and depth.
Crispin Pacific Pear pulls double duty on this dessert as a main ingredient and the perfect pairing.
INGREDIENTS
24 ounces Crispin Pacific Pear
2 tablespoons honey
1 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise
3 Bosc pears, peeled, halved and cored
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
6 scoops vanilla ice cream
Ground cinnamon
PREPARATION
STEP 1
In a pot large enough to hold the pears, bring cider, honey and vanilla bean to a boil. Add pears, reduce heat to low and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until fork-tender. Transfer pear halves to serving bowls.
STEP 2
Simmer the poaching liquid until reduced and slightly thickened. Whisk in butter.
STEP 3
Serve warm pears with a scoop of ice cream, a drizzle of the cider syrup and a dusting of cinnamon.
