Ingredients

In a saucepan large enough to hold all the pears, combine the wine, simple syrup, cinnamon stick halves, honey, and ginger. Scrape in the seeds from the vanilla bean and add the bean and seeds to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the honey has melted. Add the pears and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pears are tender. Remove the pears from the liquid and allow to cool.
Continue to simmer the liquid until it thickens and is reduced by half, about 15 to 20 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Remove the cinnamon stick halves and the vanilla bean and discard.
Place each pear on a small serving plate with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Drizzle with the honey, ginger and cinnamon syrup. Serve immediately.
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool.

Steps:

1 (750-ml) bottle Moscato wine or other sweet dessert wine 2 cups simple syrup, recipe follows 1 cinnamon stick, broken in 1/2 2 tablespoons honey 1 (3/4-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled, and finely chopped 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise 6 small, firm, ripe Anjou pears, peeled Serving suggestion: vanilla ice cream or gelato Simple Syrup 2 cups sugar 2 cups water

This recipe is a keeper! The pears were perfectly poached and the syrup was delicious. I served them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and it was the perfect dessert.

Overall, this is a good recipe. The pears were tender and the syrup was flavorful. I would definitely make this again, but I would make a few adjustments to the recipe.

The syrup was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would probably reduce the amount of honey next time.

I thought the pears were a bit too firm. I might try poaching them for a few minutes longer next time.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a hit. The pears are always perfectly tender and the syrup is delicious. I like to serve them with a dollop of whipped cream.

Easy to make and so yummy! I love that I can make this dessert ahead of time and it still tastes great.

These poached pears were a delightful treat! The honey-ginger-cinnamon syrup was perfectly balanced, not too sweet and not too spicy. The pears were tender and flavorful, and the syrup made a delicious sauce for ice cream or yogurt.
