Hi Everyone! I'm going to poach some pears tomorrow and I want to try something interesting and creative. Last time I poached them in chardenay, lemon, honey and vanilla bean. Stuffed them with a thick compote of apricots, dried cranberries and raisins. When ordered- sprinkled them with sugar on the presentation side and lightly caramelized them. Served on a sponge disk as a base. Garnished with white ganache and caramel sauce on the plate. Do you have and interesting ideas to contribute? I would have liked to serve a vanilla bean sticking up for some height but obviously that is too expensive for every plate. I'm making 30 so I think spun angel hair would take too long as a garnish. Comments? Bye! BB
