Poached pears in red wine

I think I need classes in food photography, this looked much better than it does in the picture.

Anyway, for those of you who need a guilt free dessert, poached pears to the rescue. And it's quite simple too.

You need:

  1. 2 pears
  2. 1 cup dry red wine
  3. 1/2 cup orange juice
  4. 1/4 cup sugar (adjust according to taste)
  5. A small stick of cinnamon

How to:

  1. Take a deep pan and add the wine, sugar, orange juice and cinnamon.
  2. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 2-3 minutes
  3. Peel the pears without removing the step
  4. Remove some portion from the bottom to make it flat so that the pear can stand
  5. Put the pears in the simmer liquid. Cover and cook till the pears are cooked but firm. Turn the pears from time to time to ensure even cooking
  6. When cooked, remove from flame and let the pears rest in the liquid. When cool, put in the fridge to chill. 
  7. Before serving, bring the pear to room temperature, thicken the sauce on a flame if needed. Serve the pear with a spoonful of the sauce.
