POACHED PEARS WITH RIESLING



Poached Pears with Riesling image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 firm but ripe Bosc pears, stems left on, peeled
1/2 bottle dry or off-dry Riesling
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise

Steps:

  • Core pears from the bottom, using a small melon baller to scoop out the seeds. Cut a round of parchment to fit inside a large pot (it should be wide enough to hold the pears in one layer). Place pears in pot along with wine, brown sugar, and enough water to just cover pears (2 to 3 cups). Scrape vanilla bean seeds into pot, then drop in pod. Cover with parchment round.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat; simmer, turning pears occasionally to coat with liquid, until very tender but not falling apart, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on ripeness and size of pears. Use a slotted spoon to transfer pears to a large bowl. Remove and discard vanilla bean pod. Cover bowl with parchment round (or cut a new one to fit).
  • Bring poaching liquid to a boil and cook until reduced to consistency of thin syrup, about 10 minutes. Pour syrup over pears and refrigerate, covered with parchment, until cool. Serve pears in shallow bowls or cups; tuck a chocolate-mint leaf into stem end of each one, if desired.

Tips:

  • Select firm, ripe pears: Choose pears that are slightly firm to the touch, with no blemishes or bruises. This will ensure that they hold their shape during poaching.
  • Use a variety of pears: Feel free to mix and match different varieties of pears, such as Bartlett, Bosc, and Anjou, to create a unique flavor combination.
  • Poach the pears in a flavorful liquid: The poaching liquid is what gives the pears their flavor, so be sure to use a combination of ingredients that you enjoy. Some popular options include wine, cider, and fruit juice.
  • Add spices and herbs for extra flavor: Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs to add depth of flavor to the poaching liquid. Some good options include cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla bean.
  • Poach the pears until they are tender: The poaching time will vary depending on the type of pears you are using and how ripe they are. Check the pears regularly with a fork to see if they are done.
  • Serve the pears immediately or chill them: Poached pears can be served warm or cold. If you are serving them cold, be sure to chill them for at least 2 hours before serving.

Conclusion:

Poached pears in raspberry sauce are a delicious and elegant dessert that can be enjoyed all year round.
