Authentic Harlech Spiced Cider Poached Pears

Peel whole pears, keeping the stems intact. In a pot, combine dry Welsh cider, honey, a cinnamon stick, and a few cloves.

Simmer the pears in the spiced cider until tender but still firm enough to hold their shape.

Remove the pears and boil the liquid until it reduces to a syrupy glaze. Drizzle the syrup over the pears and serve with chilled cream. A classic orchard dessert from Harlech.
