Red Wine Poached Pears Recipe Video
Pears poached in wine and spice, served with mascarpone or homemade 'yoghourt cheese'... An incredible late summer early fall treat.
Ingredients
2 cups red wine (we used Creekside 2004 Meritage)
1/3 cup sugar
2 cinnamon sticks
1 vanilla bean, split
4 pears, peeled
275gm mascarpone
2 tbs icing sugar
Directions
1. Combine the wine, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla bean in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until sugar dissolves. Add the pears and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, turning occasionally, for 1 hour or until pears are tender. Use a slotted spoon to transfer pears to a heatproof bowl.
2. Increase heat to high and bring the syrup to the boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until syrup thickens slightly. Pour over the pears and set aside for 10 minutes to cool. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 4 hours to chill.
3. Place the mascarpone, icing sugar in a medium bowl and stir to combine.
4. Transfer the pears to a serving dish and drizzle with syrup. Serve with mascarpone or 'yoghourt cheese'.

I made this and it came out amazing. I tweaked the recipe a bit. I did not have cinnamon sticks, so I put ground cinnamon in. I did not have vanilla beans so I used vanilla extract. I did not have icing sugar (or powdered sugar) so I added honey to the mascarpone cheese. It still came out amazing. I will be making this dish again soon!
