Steps:
- Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
- Add the pears, cherries, sugar and cornstarch to a large saucepot and mix to coat the fruit. Add the red wine, star anise and salt. Place the saucepot over direct heat, bring the mixture to a boil and cook, simmering, until the wine is reduced and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the saucepot from the heat and add the red wine vinegar. Discard the star anise. Let cool slightly.
- Serve by spooning over some vanilla bean ice cream.
- (Alternatively, you can poach the fruit over medium-high heat on a stovetop.)
PERFECT POACHED FRUIT
Steps:
- Place the vin santo, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, vanilla bean, and zests in a large, shallow saucepan with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Peel the pears, leaving the stems intact, and scoop out the seeds from the bottom with an apple corer or melon baller. Lay half the pears on their sides in the poaching liquid and simmer for 20 minutes, carefully turning the pears once with a spoon. Remove with a slotted spoon. Poach the remaining pears in the same liquid. Snip off the hard stems from the figs with scissors. Add the figs, apricots, prunes, and the first batch of poached pears and simmer 5 to 10 more minutes, until the pears and the dried fruit are all tender.
- Chill the pears, dried fruit, zests, and poaching liquid. Remove the cinnamon, cloves, and vanilla bean before serving if you like.

Steps:
- Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a large nonreactive saucepan. Add tea bags, remove from heat, cover, and steep for about 10 minutes. Remove tea bags and bring back to a boil. Add sugar and lemon juice and stir until sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium low so that liquid is barely simmering. Add plums and poach until tender, 30 seconds to 1 minute. (If plums are not very ripe, this will take longer.) Remove plums from liquid and let cool. Reduce poaching liquid to the consistency of light syrup. For an elegant presentation, pull plum skin back from fruit, leaving it attached at the stem end (this doesn't work on all plum varieties). Serve plums with some of the poaching liquid.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm plums for poaching. Avoid plums that are too soft or bruised.
- Use a variety of plums to create a more complex flavor. For example, you could use a combination of red, black, and yellow plums.
- Poaching liquid can be used to make a delicious sauce. Simply reduce the poaching liquid over medium heat until it thickens.
- Serve wine-poached plums warm or cold. They can be enjoyed on their own, or served with yogurt, ice cream, or cake.
Conclusion:
Wine-poached plums are a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you serve them warm or cold, with yogurt or ice cream, wine-poached plums are sure to be a hit.
