  • Pears poached in wine are divine! This French dessert can be made for guests, or you can simply treat a loved one to it for no reason at all. The recipe is wonderfully simple. First, carefully peel the pears, leaving the stem on so the cooked pear is easy to pick up. Put the peeled fruit in a small saucepan and cover with any red wine: sweet, juicy pears are best cooked in a dry wine, slightly underripe ones in a semi-sweet. Add the sugar and cinnamon to the wine, cover the pan, and poach the pears over very low heat for 25-30 minutes. The pears should turn soft and pink on the outside while staying whole. I prefer to use firm pears, which don't fall apart and keep their attractive shape. Carefully lift the cooked pears out of the pan and place them in individual dishes — one pear per serving. Gently thicken the poaching wine by stirring in the starch, then cook the mixture for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove the cinnamon stick and spoon the silky sauce over the pears. Chill the pears in wine for about an hour before serving. Top the dessert with whipped cream if you like, or leave it as is.
