They say Auguste Escoffier created this dish in honor of the opera, La Belle Helene, but we chefs know the real reason. How else are you going to use up bruised pears in such a delicious and beautiful way?

Time 3h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 cups water
1 lemon, zested and juiced
4 Bosc pears - cored, peeled, stems left on
1 vanilla bean
3 cups sugar
1 cup prepared hot fudge topping, or as needed
1 cup vanilla ice cream, or as needed

Steps:

  • Place water in a heavy pot. Stir in zest and juice of 1 lemon. Place pears in pot. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Add the seeds and split pods to the poaching liquid. Pour in sugar.
  • Bring pot to a simmer over medium-high heat; stir gently to dissolve sugar with minimal jostling of the pears. Reduce heat so pears continue cooking over a steady, gentle simmer. Pears need to stay submerged, so place a small plate over them in the pot to keep them under the liquid. Simmer until pears are just tender, 20 to 25 minutes. (Remove plate to test the pears for doneness.) Remove pot from heat and let pears cool to room temperature in the poaching liquid.
  • Transfer pears and vanilla beans to a storage container and cover with some of the poaching liquid. Cover and refrigerate until pears are thoroughly chilled, several hours or overnight. Reserve all of the poaching liquid (see footnote).
  • Heat hot fudge sauce in a saucepan over medium heat until warm. Dip base of pear into the chocolate and spoon chocolate along the sides except for the top inch or so of the pear.
  • Place dipped pears in individual serving bowls with another generous spoonful of syrup and a small scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 pears, peeled, or more to taste
1 ½ cups red wine
1 cup water
⅔ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 star anise pod
1 (11 ounce) jar chocolate sauce (such as Fran's®)

Steps:

  • Cut bottom off each pear and core from the bottom to give each pear a flat bottom to stand upright.
  • Combine wine, water, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and star anise in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and arrange pears on their sides in the saucepan. Simmer pears for 10 to 12 minutes. Turn pears and continue simmering until tender and easily poked with a fork, 8 to 10 minutes. Work in batches if needed.
  • Remove pears from wine mixture and place in a serving dish, standing upright. Continue boiling wine sauce until reduced to about 3/4 cup, 5 to 10 more minutes.
  • Fill each pear's core cavity with chocolate sauce. Pour wine sauce over each pear.
