Perry Roasted Pears and Cider Poached Apples

 

Preparation and Cooking Time:  1 hr
Serves:  4

 

Ingredients

  • 4 semi-ripe Williams pears
  • Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup Perry, we recommend ‘The Berg‘ by Paracombe Premium Perry
  • 1/2 cup Eau De Vie de Poire Williams by Paracombe Premium Perry

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°. Quarter and core the pears; dust generously with confectioners’ sugar.  In a large, ovenproof nonstick skillet, melt the butter.  Add the pears, cut sides down, and cook over high heat until richly browned, 10 minutes.
  2. Turn the pears skin sides down.  Pour in the Perry.  Roast the pears in the oven until the pears are tender and the Perry has reduced to a syrup, about 18 minutes. Transfer the pears to a platter.
  3. Meanwhile, add the Eau De Vie de Poire Williams to the skillet and boil for about 3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.  Add the cider and bring to a boil.  Add the apple slices, cover and simmer over low heat, turning once, until the apple slices are translucent, about 5 minutes.  Uncover and simmer until the cider has reduced to a syrup. Spoon the apples into shallow bowls and top them with the pear wedges.  Dust with cinnamon and serve with whipped cream.

  • 3 cups heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 plump vanilla beans, split and seeds scraped
  • 3 cinnamon sticks, cracked

Foodie Friday! Pork Tenderloin with Pears and Perry

Pork Tenderloin with Pears and Perry

 

Preparation and Cooking Time:  40mins
Serves:  4

 

Ingredients

  • 600g pork tenderloin, trimmed
  • 1 tsp. olive oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 30g unsalted butter
  • 2 firm-ripe Beurre Bosc pears, each peeled, cored, and cut into 8 wedges
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped shallots
  • 2 Tbs. sherry vinegar
  • 2/3 cup Perry, we recommend ‘The Berg’ by Paracombe Premium Perry
  • 3 Tbs. heavy cream, Tweedvale Pure Double Cream works a treat
  • 1-1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp. fresh thyme, minced

 

Instructions

  1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 500°F (260°C).
  2. Pat the pork dry, rub it with the oil, and season generously with salt and pepper.  Heat a heavy-duty 12 inch skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, and then sear the pork on all sides until golden brown, about 6 minutes total.  Transfer to a small rimmed baking sheet and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 140°F (60°C), 10 to 15 minutes.  Transfer the pork to a cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, melt half the butter in the skillet over medium-high heat.  Add the pears in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until just tender and lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side.  Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
  4. Add the remaining butter and the shallots to the skillet and cook, stirring, over medium heat until the shallots are just beginning to turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes.  Add the vinegar and stir, scraping up any brown bits.  Add the perry and cook until slightly reduced, 2 to 3 minutes.  Whisk in the heavy cream, mustard, and thyme and cook until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  5. Slice the pork and serve with the sauce and pears.
