Amazing! Perfect balance of flavors made exactly as the recipe is written. We all loved this dessert, and it was a delicious light finish to a rich Thanksgiving meal. There is plenty of syrup; not a problem...it is delicious on french toast, yoghurt, etc.

Delicious!! I did not have riesling on hand, but used a spiced apple wine instead. Very easy to make. The poaching liquid made a divine golden syrup. Cardamom cream was fluffy and just enough spice to compliment the delicate flavors of the pear. Perfect fall desert, if you want something light to follow some of fall and winters heavier meals.

I made this last night for some friends and it was divine. I let the pears sit for about three days and the taste was perfect! I was worried that it would be too sweet, but, no, I wish I had some again for dessert tonight.

I usually love poached pears and decided to make this recipe. It turned out a little tart for my taste. Normally, I make poached pears with red wine and it always come out outstanding. I am not sure what didn't go quite right with this recipe. It is possible that my pears were not fully ripe... I am going to try to make it again to see if it comes out better next time.

the cardamom cream is delicious, but we need add a little bit!

guests complimented. Enjoyed the rich tone of the Cardomon Cream. Next time need to be careful not to cook down the Riesling Sauce - actually became quite solid upon cooling! Enjoyed the 'make ahead' availability of this desert and the cream is something to be used on multiple items.

This recipe was so easy and delicious that I cannot wait to do it again! It tasted really gourmet and I think would be great to make for a dinner party because you can poach the pears a couple of days ahead of time.
