Time 1h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

One 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
One 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
2 cups sugar
2 cups water

Steps:

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.

Tips:

Choose ripe but firm pears: To ensure the best texture and flavor, select pears that are slightly soft to the touch but not mushy. This will allow them to hold their shape during baking.
Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger adds a zesty, warm flavor to the recipe. If you don't have fresh ginger on hand, you can substitute ground ginger, but use half the amount as it is more concentrated.
Adjust the sweetness to your preference: The amount of honey in the recipe can be adjusted to your liking. If you prefer a sweeter dish, add more honey. If you prefer a less sweet dish, reduce the amount of honey or omit it altogether.
Serve warm or cold: Baked pears can be served warm or cold. If you serve them warm, let them cool slightly before slicing and serving. If you serve them cold, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
