It’s Autumn. It’s chilly and the leaves are falling off the trees and that means it’s time for warming recipes that make you smile. A couple of weeks ago, we passed by a neighbour who was harvesting the pears from his tree and he happily handed us a bag of them.
After eating our fill, I peeled enough to fit, standing side by side, in a deep pan.
Then I added a bottle of red wine, a good glug of Creme de Cassis and about 50ml of mulling syrup.
Then I brought the whole to the boil before simmering for about an hour.
One cooked, the pears were left cooling whilst we ate lunch, so I made sure that all the pears were submerged as best I could, to ensure that they all gained a rich red colour.
Serve warm with vanilla ice-cream and some of the syrup.
Made them and yummy! Thank you
Hurrah! Delighted to hear it. There’s nothing better than warm poached pears in this cold weather
Mmm these pears look wonderful!
I adore poached pears!
