Categories     Fruit     Dessert     Poach

Yield 4 People

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 bottle port (Australian was good)
1/2 cup sugar
2 cinnamon sticks
4 star anise
4 clovs
1 1/2 tbsp shaved ginger
1 tsp vanilla
4 Bartlet Pears
1 tbsp orange zest
4 pink peppercorns
pinch of salt

Steps:

  • In a saucepan (choose a size that will hold the pears and the liquid will cover them) mix all the ingredients (except pears) and bring to a simmer. The longer this mixture sits the more flavor the marinade will have. Peel and core the pears. Bring the liquid to just a simmer and put the pears in, if they are not covered them turn them every five minutes and poach for 30 minutes. Remove pears and reduce the sauce to a thick syrup (ti's delicious). Or you can store the pears in the sauce for a day if making ahead and then remove and reduce when you need to.

I made these pears for my husband's birthday and he loved them. He said they were the best pears he's ever had.

I'm not a huge fan of pears, but these were really good. The port wine sauce really made them.

These pears were absolutely delicious! The port wine sauce was rich and flavorful, and the pears were cooked perfectly. I served them with a dollop of whipped cream, and they were the perfect dessert.
