Recipe for Poached Pears<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Ingredients:<\/strong>  <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Bartlett or D’Anjou Pears
\n<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Red Wine (Zinfandel or Pinot Noir is very nice!)
\n<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Sugar
\n<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Cinnamon Sticks
\n<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Directions:<\/strong> Peel pears, slice them in half and take out the cores.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Lay them in a saucepan with red wine barely covering. Add 1 or 2 cinnamon sticks and approx. 1 Tbs. of sugar per pear.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Bring pot to a low simmer and cook for 30-60 mins turning occasionally until pears are soft. Let them cool in the pan, then remove pears and cinnamon. Chill pears or serve warm.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Simmer wine mixture until it is slightly thick and syrupy. Serve syrup over pears, or use it for a rich vinaigrette!
\n<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Tip: <\/strong>To ripen pears faster, put your pears in a single layer inside a box or flat dish lined in newspaper. Top with another layer of newspaper. Check them every few days until they are your desired softness!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
