Number Of Ingredients 7

1 bottle Champagne, sparkling white wine, or dry white wine
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cinnamon stick
Zest of 1 lemon
1/2 vanilla bean
5 firm but ripe Comice pears, stems left on, peeled

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients but pears in a large saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil and cook 5 minutes. Add pears, lower heat, and cook 20 to 30 minutes, until pears are tender. If necessary, turn pears very gently by rotating stems with your fingertips so they cook evenly. Remove pears to a bowl, bring poaching liquid to a rapid boil, and reduce by half, about 10 minutes.
  • Pour syrup over pears and refrigerate, covered, at least 6 hours, preferably overnight. Serve.

If you don't have any white wine, you can use apple cider or even water in this recipe. The pears will still be delicious.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover wine. I always have a bottle of white wine open in my fridge, so this is a perfect way to use it up.

These pears are amazing! The wine poaching liquid gives them a beautiful color and a wonderfully sweet and tart flavor. I served them with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, and they were a hit with my dinner guests.
