Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups Orange Muscat such as Essencia (from a 750-ml bottle)
1 medium red beet (1/4 pound), peeled and sliced
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 (2-inch) cinnamon stick
2 Turkish bay leaves or 1 California
3 small firm-ripe pears (3/4 to 1 pound total), such as Forelle, peeled, halved lengthwise, and cored

Steps:

  • Bring wine, beet, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and bay leaves to a boil in a 1 1/2- to 2-quarts saucepan, stirring until sugar has dissolved.
  • Add pears and cover with a round of parchment paper. Simmer, turning occasionally, until pears are tender and liquid is syrupy, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer pears to a bowl. Discard cinnamon stick and bay leaves and pour syrup over pears. Cool completely in syrup, about 30 minutes.

These pears are a great addition to a cheese plate. They're also delicious served with roasted chicken or pork.

These pears are a great way to use up leftover wine. I always have a bottle of red wine open, so this recipe is perfect for me.

These pears were absolutely delightful! The poaching liquid infused them with so much flavor, and the scarlet color was simply stunning. I served them with a dollop of whipped cream, and they were the perfect ending to a special dinner.
