Poached Pears

Last week at work I was surprised to find Pears were sent along with our food delivery. We didn't order them as they have been out of stock for a while. I assume they are back in season locally, so we were fortunate to have some this time.
I decided to do something different with the pears, something I was almost certain most of the workers had never tried before. Poached Pears are a very basic delight and commonly known among civilized foodies. However, keep in mind, I work in the outback, with not-so-civilized.... "blokes" if you will.

The Pears went down well and were a more healthy dessert option than the previous night's Mud Cake.
