poached fruit
Syrup-cooked pears, perhaps
Poached fruit is fruit gently simmered in liquid—typically water, wine, or syrup flavored with sugar and spices—until tender but still holding its shape.
Pears, peaches, and stone fruits are common choices.
The technique softens firm fruit and infuses it with flavor: poached pears in red wine, vanilla poached peaches with cream.
