Pomegranate Poached Pears

For the pomegranate poached pears lab, we poached pears in a POM pomegranate juice.  First we simmered the POM juice with sugar and ground cloves.  Once the juice was simmering, we lowered the peeled bosc pears into the juice and let them cook for about 15 minuets.  The pears took on a ruby red color, and tasted delicious.
