This recipe is too complicated. There are too many ingredients and steps involved.

I tried this recipe and the pears turned out mushy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These poached pears were a disappointment. The pears were tough and the sauce was bland. I won't be making this recipe again.

This recipe is a keeper! The pears are so tender and flavorful, and the sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and tart. I served them with vanilla ice cream and it was a real treat.

I made these pears for a dinner party last night and they were a huge hit! Everyone loved the delicate flavor of the pears and the sauce was to die for. I will definitely be making this recipe again.

These poached pears were incredible! The combination of white wine, ginger, and spices created a sauce that was both sweet and savory, and the pears were perfectly tender. I served them with a dollop of whipped cream, and they were the perfect desser
