A simple, but delicious recipe for poached pears in red wine. You only need a handful of ingredients. You can eat the pears as a dessert, warm or cold, but in the Netherlands we traditionally eat stewed pears as a side dish for Christmas. I prefer them cold.
Ingredients
- 4 large firm pears – peeled, cored, and quartered
- ½ cup white sugar
- peel of 1 orange
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 (750 milliliter) bottle red wine
Directions
Step 1
Place pears in a saucepan. Add sugar, orange peel, and cinnamon stick. Pour in red wine to cover pears completely. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer gently until pears are soft and deep red in color, about 2 1/2 hours.
Step 2
Transfer pears to a serving plate using a slotted spoon. Serve the pears warm or cold.
Cook’s Notes:
Pear varieties: In the Netherlands, the Gieser Wildeman pear variety is a good choice for this recipe, and they can sometimes be found in the UK. For a local choice, simply choose the firmest pears you can find. The Williams variety can be a great choice.
