Made thses pears to use up 6 pears that were going to go bad before I could eat them individually. The recipe was each and incredibly delicious. It served
the purpose of saving the pears I couldn't eat quickly and being preserved.
My husband, who never eats fruit, begged for more. Let's have more healthy and delicious recipies from Ellie!

Instead of poaching whole pears, I peeled, cored and sliced four pears and six apples lengthwise (so the pieces were still recognizable as pears and apples before poaching. The slices fit more easily into jars than whole fruits. Double the amount of all other ingredients. This produces enough fruit to fill three wide mouthed one-quart canning jars.

Poach the apples and pears separately since the apples will take longer to soften. Reduce the poaching liquid as directed, let cool and then pour over the jarred fruit.

As with all food gifts I give these days, I enclosed a complete list of ingredients. There seem to be so many people suffering from food allergies that it's best to be on the safe side.

I just loved this recipe. I had a abundance of pears and now clue what to do with them. This was the best. I did not have merlot so I used Cianti wine. I also added some nutmeg to the poaching liquid. I am serving these for Thanksgiving . They look beauiful on a plate and so eazy.

Talk about "comfort food!" What a great dessert! Lght and rich at the same time, more flavor than you can imagine...decadant... a dessert you never want to end. I put a scoop of Vanilla Bean ice cream in a dessert bowl, made a "well" in the middle, put the spiced pear in the "well" and drizzeled the slightly warm sauce over it all. I will keep this as one of my standard desserts....forever! Great for any season.

Will make again. Was easy and delicious. I didn't have time to let them peaches sit for 3 hours (only an hour and a half so they weren't as pretty as the ones in the picture, but they tasted good.

This was so easy to make, and the outcome was amazingly good!!! I savored every drop of the sauce, and I was in heaven!

i made this for my husband and in-laws. it was an instant favorite. my grandmother-in-law asked for the recipe she loved it so much. i served it in individual custard dishes with on top of homemade whipped cream, only lightly sweetened.

keeps great in the fridge for a few days, too!

i'm making this one again tonight.
