I just made these tonight as a quick dessert with ingredients I had at home. I reduced the liquid and vanilla sugar a bit since I only had three pears, but the results were delicious! The pears were sweet, but not overpowering, and a had a nice texture. I think they would go well with vanilla ice cream, but they are equally nice on their own.

I made this dish for a potluck and it amazing. Folks loved it!. I made a few changes to enhance the presentation.... After cooking the pears in the sauce, I let them cool and cut them in half, poured the reduction over them and baked them a bit longer. I served the pears with candied pecans and bourbon vanilla whipped cream.
The presentation was beautiful and the flavors were wonderful.
This will be a regular addition to any fall/winter party.

I made this dessert for some ladies who are all watching their fat intake and it was absolutely wonderful! I reduced the poaching liquid and then added a little corn starch to thicken it. The Pears I wedged into quarters and topped with frozen vanilla yogurt and then the sauce. It has become a favorite around here!

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.

I had trouble getting the sauce to the right thickness, but it was all still delicious.

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!

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.
