Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 ripe Bartlett pears
1 (750 ml) bottle full-bodied red wine
1/2 cup sugar
2 cinnamon sticks
1 (1-inch) wide strip orange peel
3 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon brandy
1/4 cup heavy cream, whipped
1 pint strawberries, tops removed
1/4 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Pears: Peel the pears and core them whole using a melon baller to scoop out the pulp from the bottom. In a large saucepan, place the wine, sugar, cinnamon sticks and orange peel and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to low and add the pears. Simmer them for about 30 minutes until fork tender. Baste the pears occasionally to make sure they absorb the wine evenly. Remove the pears from the poaching liquid, remove the cinnamon stick and reduce the liquid to 1 cup. Set it aside to cool.
  • Filling: Place the cream cheese, sugar and brandy in a food processor and blend. Transfer it to a bowl and fold in the whipped cream. Place it in a pastry bag with a plain tip and fill the pears. Place them in a shallow serving bowl and pour the reduced liquid over them. Chill.
  • Sauce: Puree the strawberries with the sugar and chill. To serve the dish, cover the pears with the strawberry puree.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substitute vegetable broth for the red wine. It still turns out delicious!
