Poached pear with ginger — traditional remedy
How to Make Baesuk (Traditional & Healthy Version)
Baesuk (배숙) is a classic Korean dessert, beloved for its delicate sweetness and gentle warmth. Traditionally prepared with Asian pears (bae), ginger, jujubes, and honey, Baesuk is both soothing and aromatic, making it a favorite in Korean homes, especially during changing seasons. This poached pear dish is often served warm and is renowned for its ability to comfort the body, aid digestion, and clear the palate after a meal. Baesuk holds a special place in Korean culinary culture, where desserts are often light, fruit-based, and focused on natural flavors rather than excessive sugar. Its simplicity is a testament to Korea’s respect for nature’s bounty, reflecting the philosophy found in temple cuisine and everyday banchan—small side dishes that balance a Korean meal. As a vegan and vegetarian-friendly option, Baesuk embodies the wellness-oriented approach of Korean cuisine, which also values the role of fermented foods like kimchi to round out the meal. This dessert is a wonderful way to celebrate seasonal fruits and makes a wholesome end to any meal.

Wash and peel the Asian pears. Cut off the tops and carefully core the pears, leaving the bottom intact, to create a small hollow for the filling.

Use a melon baller or small spoon to core without piercing the bottom.

Stuff the hollow of each pear with two jujubes and a slice of ginger. Place the pears upright in a small pot.
3 minutes
Ensure the filling is centered for even flavor distribution.

Add the cinnamon stick, remaining ginger, and water to the pot. Sprinkle in a pinch of salt.
2 minutes
For deeper flavor, slightly crush the ginger before adding.

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until the pears are tender but retain their shape.
