We made this at home first, then as a Christmas gift for friends. Even the people who said they weren't fruit eaters LOVED it.

My fiance made this recipe for Thanksgiving, and it received high praise. Easy to prepare, it provides a sophisticated and elegant presentation. The decadent vanilla flavor and aroma would make this a good choice for date nights as well.

This recipe really couldn't be easier and your guests will go nuts for it. Doesn't really need the vanilla sugar; if you use a high-quality vanilla bean there's plenty of vanilla flavor. I made this with bosc pears and Riesling for Thanksgiving and it was a huge hit -- several people wanted the recipe. Makes a nice, light dessert for any occasion, but is also great when you need something wheat-free and/or dairy free.

A really easy desert to make if you have that much time to spare. Can be modified to to suit the more discriminating tast.

I have never tried any of Alton's recipes without getting great results. This recipe was very easy and turned out delicious. I cut the pears like a fan and served them with vanilla ice cream drizzled with the syrup.
Delicious!!

I had trouble getting the sauce to the right thickness, but it was all still delicious.
Great for those with gluten/lactose intolerance!

I have a dear friend who cannot eat any gluten or dairy. It's always a challenge to come up with dessert when she joins me for dinner. I made these delicious pears (Whole Foods has vanilla sugar) and served it with dairy-free whipped topping (French Vanilla Cool Whip, I believe). The results looked very fancy and elegant, yet couldn't have been easier!
It was absolutely easy, and tasty!

i not experienced at cooking, nor have i ever used wine in cooking anything. but this really wasn't hard at all. and the ending result was an amazing dessert! it was sweet, with hint of vanilla. once you cook all the alcohol out the wine adds a delcious flavor to the sauce. it was great! the only hard part was coring the pears, they are hard to core, and using a drill like Alton did on t.v doesn't fit the usual method. so we ended up cuting them in half , and coring them that way, i served them in little sundae dishes, and drizzled the sauce on top! the family thought it was diffantely 5 stars!
Another Alton classic
