Equipment

  • 1 Slow Cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Pears peeled
  • 1 litre Water Or enough to cover the pears
  • 100 g Granulated sugar
  • 1.5 tbsp Vanilla extract
  • 2 Cinnamon sticks
  • 1 Star Anise
  • Juice of half a lemon

Instructions
 

  • Carefully peel the pears, leaving the storks in place.
  • Cut the bottom of the pears so that they can be served stood up later. Optionally prick the pears gently several times so the flavour can permeate the pears.

  • Cook for 1.5-2 hours on high or until soft.
  • Carefully remove. Sprinkle the pears with ground cinnamon or cocoa powder. Serve with ice cream.
