POACHED APPLES WITH JUNIPER BERRIES & SPICES
An easy, elegant dessert that can cook slowly alongside your pozole, these poached apples with juniper berries and spices make for a simple, healthy and spicy winter dessert. We've incorporated juniper berries used hundreds of years ago by Native Americans, plus cloves, allspice, cinnamon and orange zest for a spiced glaze that will permeate through these poached apples. Valued by Native Americans, juniper berries were used medicinally for arthritis and rheumatism and for detoxification as a diuretic, with antiseptic properties. While we're not sure about the medicinal properties, we do know that poaching these apples with juniper berries and these spices makes the room smell incredible

Steps:
- Peel and core the apples and cut into quarters; set aside.
- Combine wine, sugar,lemon juice, RawSpiceBar's juniper berries and spices pouch, and 2 cups water in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved. 3. Add apples; reduce heat to low and simmer, occasionally rotating apples, until tender when pierced with a sharp knife, 25-30 minutes. 4. Remove apples from pot, transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Strain out the spices from the poaching liquid and discard.
- Add the liquid back to the pot and bring to a slow simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until poaching liquid reduces by roughly 3/4, about 15-25 minutes minutes (syrup will also thicken as it cools).
