gramsWhen my lovely friends over at Gomersal Wines sent me a selection of wines to cook with, I immediately thought of red wine poached pears
.
While I was looking through recipes for inspiration, I saw some pears poached in white wine and my mind went straight to the lovely blush pink bottle of Rosè that they had sent me
.
Using the Rosè gave the pears a delicate pink hue and a lovely light, floral and fruity boost to their already sweet flavour
.
I served mine over some Greek yoghurt, drizzled with more of the lush syrup
.
It’s the perfect end to a dinner party or a yummy weekday lunch
.
Try it yourself
.
Enjoy!
Ingredients
4 pears peeled, leaving the stem on
1 bottle of Gomersal Rosè
2 cups of water
1/4 cup of caster sugar (add more if you like it sweet)
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Directions
- Take your peeled pears and use an apple corer or melon baller to carefully remove the core from the base.
- Place all of the other ingredients into a saucepan and stir to combine.
- Add the pears and top the liquid up with more water if required (you want the pears to be mostly covered but they don’t need to be completely submerged)
- Cover and bring to a hard simmer, then reduce the temperature until just simmering.
- Cook for approx 10 minutes, or until the pears are soft but not falling apart.
- Remove the pears and bring the poaching liquid back to the boil.
- Boil hard until it has reduced into a syrup.
- Serve the pears over yoghurt or ice cream, drizzled liberally with the syrup.
