Very Quick Poached Pears (with Honey & Ice Cream)

This is an incredibly quick dessert snack that takes about 10 minutes in total. I will often pop it on the stove at the end of a meal. By the time the meal is finished the poached pears are ready to serve warm for the whole family as a yummy dessert. This recipe serves 2 people. Just adjust according to the number of people you are feeding (Just add more pears and more water. Do not increase the sugar or cinnamon).
