Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 bottle light red wine, such as merlot
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 cloves
2 pears (preferably Bosc or Anjou), peeled, halved and cored
1 stick cinnamon
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
1/2 orange, zested
1 cup vanilla ice cream
1 cup store-bought granola
3 fresh mint leaves, torn

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, add the wine, sugar, cloves, pears, cinnamon, vanilla and orange zest and bring to a simmer. Cut out a circle of parchment paper and fit this on top of the liquid to keep the pears submerged. Simmer the pears until fork-tender, flipping them once, about 40 minutes. Remove the pears from the wine with a slotted spoon and refrigerate for 10 minutes. Continue to reduce the wine mixture on high heat until it becomes syrupy, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain.
  • Top each pear half with some ice cream, granola and a drizzle of the wine reduction. Finish your art with mint and devour it.

This dessert is a bit on the sweet side for me, so I usually serve it with a dollop of tart yogurt or a squeeze of lemon juice.

The pears were a bit too firm for my liking. I think I would have preferred to poach them for a few minutes longer.

I thought the red wine poaching liquid was a bit too tart for my taste. Next time, I might try using a sweeter wine or adding a little bit of sugar to the poaching liquid.

The vanilla ice cream and granola added a nice touch of sweetness and crunch to the pears. I could also imagine serving this dessert with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
