Peach Pears in Red Wine Sauce
(Takes 25 minutes to make, and 2 hrs for cooling)
I have not made this, and do not like pears....AT ALL...so make at your own risk
4 Basc or D'Anjou Pears (I vote, just get some pears, I have no idea what basc or D'Anjou pears means)- peeled, stem intact and seeds removed through the bottom (you can use a melon baller if you have one)
2 cups of dry red wine ( try your local liquor store's 2 buck chuck, but honestly though a port is sweet, and not usually dry, I think it sounds more appetizing for this already sweet recipe).
1 cup of sugar
1 cup water
1 bay leaf
1 cinnamon stick
8 oz of heavy whipping cream whipped to soft peak with out sugar
1. Add red wine, sugar, water, bay leaf and cinnamon in a pan large enough to hold 4 pears on their sides. Bring to boil, turn and simmer, add pears. Poach til tender, Remove pears and allow to cool.
2. After cooling and removing pears bring red wine mixture back to a boil and reduce to 1/2 cup of liquid. Remove bay leaf and cinnamon stick and discard. Cool the liquid.
3. Placed cooled pears into cooled liquid. Refrigerate for 2 hrs turning pears occasionally in the liquid
4. When serving place pear upright on a plate, add whip cream and drizzles pear and cream with the sauce to serve.
