Slow cooker tequila-poached pears. These pears are cooked until they’re soft and tender, then spiked with tequila and spices to create a perfect winter dessert.

What is the difference between poaching and baking?

Poaching is a cooking technique in which the food is submerged in a pot of boiling water. Baking is a cooking technique in which the food is put into an oven and cooked with dry heat.

Poaching involves submerging the food in boiling water, while baking cooks it with dry heat.

Are poached pears a healthy recipe?

The answer to this question is not as simple as it sounds. There are many different opinions on this topic. Some people believe that poached pears are a healthy recipe while others think they are not.

Many people think that poached pears are a healthy recipe because they contain fewer calories and sugar than other desserts like chocolate cake or ice cream. But, the sugar content in poached pears is still high enough to be considered unhealthy for kids and adults alike.

Others argue that poached pear recipes can be unhealthy depending on what you put in them. For example, adding butter or cream will make them more unhealthy than if you leave them without any additional ingredients.

How do these pears taste?

Slow cooker pears will taste delicious because they are cooked in their own juices.

The slow cooker will cook the pears and make them tender. The fruit will also absorb the flavors of any spices or sugar that you add to the pot. These pears are a great addition to your holiday dessert table, as well as other winter-time dishes.
