My Korean KitchenBaesuk (Honey Poached Pears) - Korean Royal Court Cuisine Style
Save it, plan it, shop for it.
Supper turns recipes like this into a planned week and a sorted grocery list — then walks you through cooking, hands-free. Coming soon to iOS.
Ingredients
Serves 4- 1 Korean pear ((490 g / 1 pound), peeled)
- 15 g ginger ((0.5 ounces), peeled, thinly sliced)
- 24 black peppercorns ((optional))
- Some pine nuts ((optional) to garnish)
- 3 cups water
- 2 Tbsp sugar (or honey)
Open in Supper to scale servings and turn this into a grocery list.
Steps
- Step 1
Put the sliced ginger into a pot and add the water. Boil over medium high heat until rolling boiling (7 to 8 mins).
- Step 2
(At the same time as step 1) Cut the pears into wedge shapes (about 8 pieces). Push through the black peppercorns on the back of the pears (typically 3 peppercorns per slice). You may want to use a chopstick or an equivalent tool to push them deep, so that they don’t fall out. Though, if you don’t like this additional peppercorn flavour, it can be omitted.
- Step 3
Discard the ginger from step 1. Add the sliced pears and sugar / honey into the pot. Boil them over low heat for about 10 mins.
- Step 4
Remove the pot from the heat and cool down. Chill in the fridge for a few hours. Garnish the drink with some pine nuts before serving. Serve cold or warm.
Interactive, hands-free timers are available in the Supper app.
