Time 40m

Yield Eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 Bartlett or Comice pears, ripe, yet firm (see note)
1 bottle red Burgundy wine, approximately (see note)
1 cup sugar
1 cinnamon stick
1 vanilla bean
Zest of one lemon
Mint leaves, for decoration

Steps:

  • Carefully peel the pears, leaving the stems intact.
  • In a deep saucepan, bring the wine to a boil with the sugar, cinnamon, vanilla bean and lemon zest. Reduce the heat so that the mixture is simmering slowly and add the pears. Poach them until they are tender, about 25-35 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let the pears remain in the liquid until serving time. To serve, decorate the top of each pear with a mint leaf and serve with a spoonful of the poaching wine.

The pears were a little too sweet for my taste, but the sauce was perfect. I'll try again with less sugar next time.
