   ["First and foremost, start with making the Poaching liquor which is nothing but a simple mix of - Water + Sugar + Spices + Lemon Juice. ( We need to make this prior to peeling the pears because pears if exposed to air for longer, can lead to oxidisation and hence turning black, which is why this poaching liquid contains the lemon juice that acts as the acid to prevent the fruit from oxidising )

   Once this is done, transfer this to a medium size heating pot and start to heat this mix until it starts to boil.", "Now, Start to peel the pear keeping the form and the stem intact, which not only makes it look beautiful for presentation but also cooks evenly when poached. Cut the base out and place this in the poaching liquid.", "Once these pears have been placed in the liquid, slow down the flame and cook the pears for 45-50 mins, with continuous checks on it.

   It is better to place a lid on the pot for better and faster cooking.
