Poached Pears in Red Wine and Cinnamon are delicious, beautiful and easy to prepare! What more could you want of a recipe? Okay, yes, you do have to peel and core the pears; but the results are worth it. If you have ripe pears, the coring is easier and the poaching takes less time. The good news is that if you are using rock hard pears, you can still be successful with this recipe. It just takes a little more care in coring and probably 20 minutes more to poach the pears; but the results are mouth watering.
I love recipes that can be used in a variety of ways. Eat these pears on their own or serve them with gelato or ice cream drizzled with some reduced cooking liquid over them. Want to make something even more extra special? Bake a tart crust and arrange these Poached Pears in Red Wine and Cinnamon in the crust. Glaze them with reduced cooking liquid or melted jam and top with toasted sliced almonds.
