We tried this recipe for the first time about a week ago, and we've already made it again since then. It has already become one of my favorite dessert recipes.

Fabulous! A wonderful light dessert to have after a very rich meal. Festive, sophisticated, absolutely delicious, and not too rich. Will make again.

I am the odd man out on this one. I liked the recipe but didn't love it. Easy to make. Served this with vanilla ice cream and the reviews were just "ok" or "good". Sorry, Alton!

Had my first dinner party two nights ago, this was a huge hit. Im glad that I found like minded people that enjoy good, can do at home cooking. This is an A recipe.

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.
