Poached Pears in Wine (Easy 3 Ingredient Recipe)
Not just any old poached pears as these form a caramelized wine syrup to be served with the pears.
Equipment
- 1 large spoon slotted is best
Instructions
- Peel, halve (lengthwise) and core four pears and place cut side down in sauté pan.
- Pour wine into pan with the pears. Next, add the sugar.
- Put burner on to medium high heat and bring to a simmer, then add the lid.
- Cook for a few minutes until the pears are still firm, but cooked (poke with a skewer to test them.) Turn them over and cook for one more minute.
- Take the pan off the heat and remove the pears from the liquid in the pan with a large spoon (slotted is best) and set aside.
- Put the pan back onto the burner and bring to a strong simmer over medium high heat. Cook until a syrup forms, then remove from heat immediately after consistency is reached.
- Place pear halves (one or two) on serving plates and drizzle with the caramelized wine syrup. Decorate as desired, or not at all, and serve right away.
Notes
- Ingredient measurement isn't critical in this recipe.
- I used Bosc pears, but any firm pear will do.
- Special equipment needed: sauté pan with lid.
