How to Prepare Pomegranate Poached Pears [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

When peeling the pears, slice a small amount off of the bottom of each one so they can stand up.
Place all of the other ingredients into a pot large enough to accommodate the pears. Lay the pears into the liquid, on their sides. Poach on low for about one hour.
Gently roll the pears over once in a while to ensure an even color absorption.
Carefully remove the pears and let them cool.
Reduce the poaching liquid by gently boiling it for about another hour. When it’s done, you will only have a couple of inches in the bottom of the pot.
Strain, cool, and refrigerate.
Serve the pears topped with the reduction and some pomegranate seeds.
