These poached pears were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less sugar next time.

These poached pears were an absolute delight! The port wine sauce was rich and flavorful, and the pears were perfectly tender. I served them with a dollop of whipped cream, and they were the perfect ending to a special dinner.
