HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Wash the pears thoroughly. Carefully cut off the top third of each pear and set aside. Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop out the core and seeds from the larger bottom section of each pear, creating a cavity.

02

In a small bowl, combine the honey, goji berries, and ground cinnamon (if using).

03

Divide the honey and goji berry mixture evenly between the two pear cavities.

04

Place the tops back onto the pears, like lids.

05

Place the pears in a heatproof bowl or steamer basket. Pour 1/4 cup of water into the bottom of your steamer or pot.

06

Steam the pears over medium heat for 20 minutes, or until the pears are very tender when pierced with a fork.

07

Carefully remove the steamed pears from the steamer. Serve warm, drizzled with any accumulated juices from the steaming process.

Chef's Tips

For an extra touch, you can add a few slices of fresh ginger or a pinch of star anise to the steaming water for a more aromatic experience. Ensure your steamer has enough water to prevent it from boiling dry during the steaming process.

Easy Substitutions

If Asian pears are unavailable, Bosc or Anjou pears work well. Maple syrup can be used instead of honey for a vegan option. Dried cranberries or raisins can substitute for goji berries.
