List of Ingredients




Healthy Merlot Poached Dessert Pears

1 cup water
1 cup good quality merlot
2 cups sugar
3 Bosc pears, peeled
12 peppercorns
1/2 cinnamon stick
2 whole cloves



Recipe



1. Place all the ingredients in a large saucepan. Cover the pears with a piece of
parchment paper or weigh them down with a plate so that they stay immersed in the
liquid.

2. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cook until the pears are tender when
pierced with a knife, about 20 to 30 minutes.

3. Remove the pears from the liquid and set aside. Continue to simmer the liquid
for about 30 minutes, until it has a syrup-like consistency. Discard the peppercorns,
cinnamon stick and cloves. Keep warm.

4. Cut the pears in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and core with a melon baller
or small spoon. Remove any additional core using a small paring knife.

5. Slice the pear halves lengthwise and arrange the slices on plates. Spoon the
warm syrup on and around the pears.
