Spiced red wine poached pear w/ spiced reduction & vanilla bean ice-cream
Yield: 4 servings
Prep: 10 min
Cook: 1hr 30min
Rest: 2 hrs
Ingredients
- ½ bottle dry red wine
- 2 cups water
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 3 tbsp additional sugar
- 2 cloves
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 orange zested + orange juice
- 1 tbsp vanilla
- 4 pears, peeled, keep the stem on
- Fresh Mint leaves for garnish
Directions
- Combine all ingredients to a medium pot & let simmer on med-low heat for 1 hour.
- Continue to turn your pears every 15 minutes to ensure your pears are poaching evenly.
- Turn off heat after 1 hour, keep covered and allow pears to sit for 30 minutes until warm.
- When pears have cooled down, place them in the fridge & allow them to chill in poaching liquid for 2 hours or more. It is not necessary, but you may let them sit overnight.
- Before you serve your pears, remove 1 ½ cups of poaching liquid from your pears & add it to a small sauce pan, add ½ cup of sugar & cook on med-low heat for 5-7 minutes, allow poaching liquid to reduce down into a syrup, this is your reduction.
- To serve, scoop vanilla ice-cream into a bowl, top with a poached pear, drizzle with spiced reduction & garnish with mint.
- Enjoy!
Note:
Serve poached pears as you’d prefer; warm or cold. I prefer them warm over the cold vanilla ice-cream. To re-heat pears, place the pot back on the stove on medium heat for about 10 minutes.
