Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups apple juice
15 oz cranberry sauce, 1 can
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cinnamon stick
3 pears, ripe but firm, peeled, halved, and cored
1 cup heavy cream, chilled
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
12 shortbread cookies, store-bought

Steps:

  • In a blender, puree the apple juice, cranberry sauce, and salt until smooth.
  • Pour the juice into a 4-quart jumbo cooker, add the cinnamon stick, and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Add the pears to the simmering juice, and cook, turning occasionally, until the pears are tender when pierced at the thickest part with a paring knife, 25-30 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and let the pears cool completely in liquid, about 1 hour, or refrigerate in liquid for up to 2 days.
  • In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla with an electric hand mixer until medium peaks form.
  • Divide the pear halves among 6 serving bowls and top each with a dollop of whipped cream and drizzle with some of the poaching liquid. Crumble 2 cookies over each bowl and serve.
  • Enjoy!
