Directions
Toss pears with lemon juice. Set aside.
In a large saucepan, combine water, juice, and honey. Add vanilla and cinnamon. Stir over medium heat until honey is dissolved. If desired, replace 2 tablespoon of honey with brown sugar.
Add pears. Cover mixture with a circle of parchment paper cut to fit the pan. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the pears are just tender when pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the pears from poaching liquid. Boil liquid in pan until it becomes thickened and syrupy, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool. Return pears to syrup and refrigerate up to 24 hours before serving
