Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 pears, peeled
10 fluid ounces red wine, or more to taste
½ cup dark brown sugar, packed
1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped out and reserved
1 orange, peeled and juiced (peel reserved)
7 ounces shelled walnuts, divided
½ cup heavy whipping cream
½ cup sour cream
1 orange, zested and juiced
2 teaspoons dark brown sugar, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Arrange pears in an oven-proof pan with a tight-fitting lid; add red wine, 1/2 cup brown sugar, vanilla bean and seeds, and the peel and juice of 1 orange. Bring pear mixture to a boil; sprinkle with half the walnuts.
  • Bake the pear mixture in the preheated oven until pears are tender, 20 to 30 minutes, basting pears with red wine syrup every 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool; remove the vanilla bean and orange peel from the red wine syrup.
  • Arrange the remaining walnuts on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until toasted and fragrant, 5 minutes.
  • Place the toasted walnuts in a food processor and pour in the red wine syrup; pulse until paste-like consistency. Transfer to a bowl. Whisk cream, sour cream, zest and juice of 1 orange, and 2 teaspoons brown sugar into walnut-red wine paste until smooth.
  • Serve walnut-cream sauce over baked pears.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The sauce was a bit too thick for my taste. I would have preferred it to be a bit thinner.

The pears were a bit undercooked for my liking. I would have baked them for a few minutes longer.

These baked pears were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with a tart filling.
