Time 2h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cans pears in syrup
1 cup port wine
1/2 cup sugar
1 star anise, optional
1 cinnamon stick, ground, or ground cinnamon, to taste
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 sprig fresh rosemary
1 lemon, juiced
1 orange, zested
1/3 cup raspberry filling
Whipped topping, for garnish
Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Strain pears and discard syrup; set pears aside.
  • Combine all ingredients, except the pears and raspberry filling, in a non-reactive saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and add the pears. Add enough cold water to cover pears and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Once thickened, remove pears and chill.
  • Add raspberry filling to port syrup and bring to a boil. Cook until reduced to the consistency of a glaze. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Spoon pears into bowls and top with glaze. Garnish with whipped topping and fresh mint, if desired.
