Description

Recipe posted by Hawa merzuka for the competition. Poached Pear in red wine. I am in the process of learning different cuisines, so i keep looking for different and varied recipes and try it at home. I came across this particular recipe over the net which struck my interest. The simple ingredients and the beautiful color of the dessert attracted me to try it. I prepared this dessert on the valentine’s day as a surprise for my husband Suraj who is a dessert lover. This dish was a great hit !! By seeing the pictures of what i prepared and the description which we shared with my in-laws, they too wanted to try it and they did.. Even they enjoyed dessert.

Ingredients
Quantity
Pears 4
Red Wine 750 ml
Sugar200 gms
Cinnamon stick1
Vanilla essence 1 tea spoon
Orange peel very little for the flavor
Mascarpone cheese or fresh creamas needed
walnut or almondRoughly chopped

Method

  1. Peel the skin off the pears and cut it into 2 half. Remove the seeds off the pears.
  2. To prepare the syrup…take a large pan. Add red wine, sugar, orange peels, cinnamon and vanilla essence into it.
  3. Allow the mixture to come to a boil. Then add the pears to it. Keep it closed with a lid such a way that a little bit of air goes through so that the syrup does not overflow. Cook it for 45 mins on a low heat.
  4. After 45 mins remove the pears from the syrup and place on the serving dish. The color of the pears would have turned into beautiful red color.
  5. Heat the remaining syrup removing the peel and the cinnamon stick. It would get reduced into a thick sauce that can be poured over the pear while serving.
  6. Allow it to cool and now the dessert is ready!! It can be served with crushed nuts on top and it goes well with mascarpone cheese.

BON APPETIT !!
