Poached Pear

Ingredients

4 Ripe Pears

1/2 cup sugar

2 cups Red Wine

1/2 cup water

2 Cinnamon sticks (plus 1 more to freshly grate on the finished food)

Vanilla ice cream

(I tried Almond milk ice cream for the first time today and it was pretty gooood

Preparation

Pour the wine, water, sugar, and cinnamon sticks into a pot, mix well, and start heating it up on a medium flame.

Peel your pears then place them carefully into the boiling wine mixture.

Cover and let the pears boil for about 20 minutes.

The pears won’t be fully submerged in the liquid, so make sure to turn them every 5 minutes or so using a soft plastic spoon (so you don’t damage the look of the pear)

When the pears are done and hold a nice red color, remove from the pot, put them on a plate or in a bowl to cool for a few minutes.

These pears are best served warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side, with fresh ground cinnamon on top.

Tip: Slice off a small part of the bottom, so the pear sits upright in the serving plate.
