Provided by Food Network

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 Bosc pears, peeled, cored and quartered
Half-bottle ice wine
2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp. honey
1 cinnamon stick, broken in half
2 whole cloves
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
8 oz. parmigiano-reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • In a large saucepot, combine ice wine, balsamic vinegar, honey, cinnamon and cloves. Add pears. Bring to a boil and then lower and simmer until pears are tender, about 20 minutes. Remove pears with a slotted spoon.
  • Let poaching liquid simmer until reduced to about 1/4 cup, with a thick and syrupy consistency. Melt butter in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add pears and sear until caramelized. Cut the parmigiano-reggiano into rustic chunks and arrange them on a platter. Transfer the caramelized pears to the platter next to the cheese.
  • Drizzle everything with the reduced ice wine syrup.

I was skeptical about the combination of pears and Parmigiano, but I was pleasantly surprised. The flavors melded together perfectly, and the pears were cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this dish again.
