Poached Pears

Print Options
Description
Poached pears are a beautiful, elegant dessert. One would think that they are complicated. Not so.
These are wonderful served with a side of vanilla frozen yogurt, or by themselves! They should be prepared at least 1-2 hours ahead of time.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Dry White Wine
- ½ cups Water
- ⅓ cups White Sugar
- 2 whole Bosc Pears, Peeled, Halved And Cored
- Fresh Mint Leaves To Garnish
- Vanilla Frozen Yogurt (optional)
Preparation
In a large wide saucepan, bring wine, water and sugar to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and place pears, sliced side down, into simmering liquid. Cover and cook for about 30 minutes, flipping pears over halfway through cooking. Remove pears when they are tender. Place in the refrigerator.
Bring liquid to a boil over high heat for about 25 minutes, until around 2/3 cup of syrup remains. Place liquid in a glass container in the refrigerator for 1–3 hours.
To serve: place 1/2 poached pear in a serving dish and spoon 3 tablespoons syrup over the pear. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs and serve with vanilla frozen yogurt if desired.
