Pears In Red Wine
Recipe source : Ellice Handy Recipes ( Female Cookbook 1979 )
These pears in red wine are extremely delicious. My youngest son, YS and I like these pears very much. The cookbook recommended that we eat them with ice-cream. Ice-cream! This meant double bliss for both of us, to have chilled pears cooked in delicious red wine sauce topped-up with ice-cream for dessert! This is definitely a treat , not an everyday treat!
We love the unique flavour of the stewed pears cooked with cloves, cinnamon and red wine.
Yes, a very delicious treat for us!
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups red wine
3 slices lemon
3 cloves
1/2 cup white sugar
5 cm piece cinnamon bark
6 firm pears
You will require :
Lemon
Pears
Left : cinnamon. Right : cloves
Red wine
Instructions
1. Place wine, lemon slices, cloves, cinnamon and sugar into a saucepan.
2. When boiling, add peeled pears and simmer for 10 minutes.
3. Remove pears to a bowl and continue to boil the wine for 10 minutes to reduce the quantity.
4. Pour hot wine over the pears and allow to stand until warm, turn fruits often.
5. Serve with ice-cream
6. Serves 4 to 6 people.
The ice-cream melted pretty fast in our hot weather
A wine flavoured dessert.
Unique!
