Sous Vide Poached Pears with Vanilla and Brown Sugar

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sous Vide Poached Pears with Vanilla and Brown Sugar.

1. Step 1

   Start by filling a large pot with warm water, making sure there’s at least three inches of space at the top.

   Next, attach your sous vide immersion circulator to the pot and set it to a cozy 175°F (80°C).

   Don’t forget to set the timer for one hour—this is where the magic begins! While the water warms up, take a ripe pear and peel it gently, then slice it in half lengthwise.

4. Step 4

   Use a small spoon to scoop out the seeds from each half, creating a lovely little pocket for flavor.

5. Step 5

   Now, grab a resealable or silicone bag and place the pear halves inside.

   Add a generous dollop of salted butter, a sprinkle of dark brown sugar, and a splash of vanilla extract to the bag.

7. Step 7

   This combination will infuse the pears with a rich, sweet aroma as they cook.

8. Step 8

   Seal the bag, making sure to remove as much air as possible, then carefully immerse it in the warm water.

   Just a tip: keep the top of the bag above the water level to ensure everything cooks perfectly.
