Heritage Shares Stewed Pear with Peach Gum Recipe to Soothe Throat, Nourish Skin

Heritage Group, a producer and distributor of health-focused food and beverages, introduced a traditional dessert recipe, Stewed Pear with Peach Gum, on 29 September. The dessert stands out for its gentle sweetness, which helps ease coughing, soothes the throat, and nourishes the skin from within. Importantly, it is a recipe that can easily be made at home using natural ingredients that are widely available.

The dessert's highlight is the pairing of two ingredients familiar to Thais from traditional Chinese medicine: peach gum, a resin from the peach tree rich in natural collagen, dietary fibre and antioxidants, combined with pear, a cooling fruit that quenches thirst, relieves internal heat and adds moisture to the respiratory system.

Benefits of the Supporting Ingredients

In addition to peach gum and pear, the recipe also adds goji berries, which contain antioxidants, vitamin A, vitamin C and beta-carotene to support eyesight, boost immunity and help regulate blood sugar and fat levels, along with white fungus, known as a natural source of collagen and likewise rich in dietary fibre and antioxidants. Together, they make a dessert that offers both flavour and nutritional value in a single bowl.

Ingredients and Method for Making at Home

For those who want to try making it themselves, the main ingredients are: 2 snow pears or golden pears, half a cup of peach gum soaked until soft, 1 teaspoon of goji berries, half a cup of white fungus, 1 cup of fresh longan, half a cup of dried Chinese red dates, rock sugar to taste, and 800 millilitres of clean water.

• Soak the peach gum in clean water overnight for about 8 to 12 hours until soft, remove any foreign matter, then rinse again.
• Wash the pears clean, remove the core, then peel.
• Soak the Chinese red dates and white fungus in warm water for about 15 to 20 minutes until they swell.
• Put the pears, peach gum, white fungus, goji berries, Chinese red dates and longan into a pot with the water and rock sugar, then stew over medium heat for 30 to 40 minutes, until the pears are soft and the peach gum turns clear like jelly.

Once cooked, it can be served warm for a soothing effect, or chilled for extra refreshment on hot days. It makes a fitting dessert to end a meal, offering both flavour and benefits for the body.
