POACHED PEAR JUICE

7. 4-5 Pears (with stems), peeled and cored from bottom

In a large saucepan, add lemon zest, cinnamon stick, allspice, brown sugar, apple cider, and water. Cover pears with wax paper to prevent discoloration or pour a little lemon juice over the pears. Add pears to the saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook, turning pears occasionally, about 20 minutes. Remove pears from liquid; transfer to a large bowl. Use poached pears as you’d like. Take the poached pear juice in the saucepan, transfer to the desired glass and use for the cocktail.
