I was thinking of making
this for quite some time and now that pears are in season I decided to go ahead. It turned out to be one of the most elegant and perfect
fruit dessert I have made in recent times!
Pears cooked in spiced wine will pair with anything you can come up with
whether it’s served with a dollop of ice cream, whipped cream, marscapone, crèmefraiche, devonshire cream ,chocolate sauce, custard or as a topping for plain
cake, crepes, waffles or simply as it is; truly amazing.... As this can be made and stored ahead it’s a perfect dessert for parties.... You can use
either red wine or white wine, store bought or homemade.... Spices can be added according to taste.... I tailor-made
this to suit our personal taste..... so you are free to + / - any ingredients..... colour of the poached pears depends upon the colour of wine you use and mine
was homemade light red wine, so my pears didn't turn out deep red...
try this lovely dessert this season and I am sure you will love it.....
