These pears were so easy to make and they were absolutely delicious. I served them with a dollop of whipped cream and they were the perfect ending to a romantic dinner.

The pears were a bit too tart for my taste, but the sauce was amazing. I would definitely make this again, but I would use a sweeter variety of pear.

This was an excellent dessert! The pears were perfectly poached and the sauce was delicious. I will definitely be making this again.
