Time 40m

Yield Eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 Bartlett or Comice pears, ripe, yet firm (see note)
1 bottle red Burgundy wine, approximately (see note)
1 cup sugar
1 cinnamon stick
1 vanilla bean
Zest of one lemon
Mint leaves, for decoration

Steps:

  • Carefully peel the pears, leaving the stems intact.
  • In a deep saucepan, bring the wine to a boil with the sugar, cinnamon, vanilla bean and lemon zest. Reduce the heat so that the mixture is simmering slowly and add the pears. Poach them until they are tender, about 25-35 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let the pears remain in the liquid until serving time. To serve, decorate the top of each pear with a mint leaf and serve with a spoonful of the poaching wine.

The pears were a little mushy for my liking, but the flavor was still good. I think I'll try poaching them for a shorter amount of time next time.

These pears were a bit too tart for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I think I'll try using a sweeter variety of pear next time.

These poached pears were a delightful treat! The burgundy wine sauce was rich and flavorful, and the pears were perfectly tender. I served them with a dollop of whipped cream, and they were absolutely divine.
