Copied! on September 01, 2025 15:21 California, United States I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use. Comments Similar Recipes Poached Pears Poached Pears Add a fancy touch to a salad or desert. Also, you can refuce the poaching liquid to use in a sauce or vinaigrette. Ryan Goodwin Poached Pears Almond Cake Poached Pears Almond Cake I decided to poach my pears the "Poire belle Hélène way" in a spiced syrupy water for more depth of flavors. Beautiful isn't it? I noticed that the pears in most of the pear cake loaf recipes weren't cored. I wonder how they eat the pear cakes. I of cos cleaned the bottom and cored the pears with a melon baller. If you don't have a melon baller, you can use a small sharp knife. Be sure not to damage the pears. In closing, I really hope you will give this recipe a try. Daniel Lim Spiced poached pear with beet Spiced poached pear with beet #reststyle #goldenapron Poached Pear, the classic French dessert is such a delightfully flavorful, very elegant and impressive. It has a great balance of sweet, spice and fruity flavors, and the deep red colour turns this into a beautiful centerpiece dessert too. I have slightly modified my recipe so that it can be served to kids as well. Poached Pears make a fantastic dinner party dessert and can be prepared in advance. Pears have such a mild flavour that you need to use spice in a considered way to complement their fabulous taste. Inish Issac California Farm Plum Wine & Cider California Farm Plum Wine & Cider Plums are ripe. We left our Santa Rosa plums on the tree till they fall off in the blankets we put under the tree. Then they are perfectly sweet and ripe to make plum wine. We make plum wine from the whole fruits. We mash the whole plums, ferment the plum juice, syphon off the fermented juice, discard the pits and skins. This Amish plum wine making recipe is excellent for beginners. No tools needed. 12% to 15% alcohol. This wine will be ready next year June/July when you make next year’s plum wine. #CA2025 Hobby Horseman California Farm Quince White Wine California Farm Quince White Wine Quinces smell, look and taste like a cross between an apple, a pear and a lemon, fresh fruity flavors that make a great white wine. They carry these flavors from fruit into white wine if you cook the quinces less than 15 minutes and then follow this simple home wine recipe. This is the first time my sister and I re-used screwcap bottles to try to ferment wine inside bottles instead of the traditional waterlock fermentation method. The wine is awful. Do not re-use screwtop wine bottles. Back to corks and bottles for me! Better luck next year. #GoldenApron23 Hobby Horseman Poached Pears Poached Pears Add a fancy touch to a salad or desert.
