Prep the poaching liquid. Pour the water into a large pot and mix in the gelatin powder. Bring the water to a boil and stir to dissolve the gelatin.
Add the pears. Add in the pears and partially cover the pot with a lid. Simmer on medium-low heat for 30 to 35 minutes, or until tender, stirring frequently for an even color.
Cool and serve. Remove the pears and let them cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle honey and nuts over the pears, and serve with a side of whipped cream.
