Poached Pears ~ Party Perfect

Photo: Anonymous

Ingredients

4 pears (peeled, halved & cored)

1 bottle of wine (which ever kind you like)

1/2 cup sugar

aromatics - vanilla, cinnamon, fresh whip cream or ice cream

Preparation

Place wine, aromatics, 1/2 cup of sugar & pears into a pot. Bring up to a simmer for 10-20 minutes depending on size of the pears.

When a fork slips into pears easily remove from heat & allow to cool in liquid.

Once tepid - place the pears in to the fridge, leaving the juices in the pan.

Continue cooking the liquid until reduced by half and forms a syrup. Taste the syrup - if its tart add a bit more sugar.

Allow the syrup to cool once desired consistency is achieved. Strain out aromatics.

Server syrup drizzled over pears with a scoop of gelato or whip cream!
