There's no reason to stand on ceremony when it comes to cider — pears give this delicious drink new flavour, a little twist for a cold night.
Ingredients
Pear
2 small, peeled, cored and quartered
Apple cider
4 cup(s), or pear cider (no sugar added)
Honey
2 tbsp(s)
Cinnamon sticks
1 average
Whole cloves
⅛ tbsp(s), use 4 cloves
Instructions
1
Put all ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
2
Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer very slowly — at the merest bubble — until pears are tender, about 45 minutes.
3
Remove and discard cinnamon stick and cloves. Pour contents of saucepan into a large blender. Remove center cap from lid, set lid in place, cover hole with a doubled clean kitchen towel and blend until smooth. If desired, reheat in a saucepan until barely bubbling. Yields about 2/3 cup per serving.
