INSTRUCTIONS
8 SERVINGS VEGAN
Poaching is a simple but excellent way to prepare pears, particularly if
they are too hard to eat raw. Here, the pears are simmered in red wine,
which imparts a beautiful rosy blush to the fruit and makes it a stunningly
colorful dessert to serve. They're good served either hot or cold and will
keep in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours.
Peal pears, leaving stems on and taking off as little flesh as possible.
Take a thin slice off bottom to make a stable base. In large saucepan,
combine wine and orange juice. Add pears and simmer gently until tender,
about 30 minutes.
Transfer pears to shallow bowl or individual serving bowls. Add sugar and
ginger to liquid in pan. Bring to a boil and simmer until syrupy, about 5
minutes. Spoon syrup over the pears and garnish with strips of orange peel.
Serve warm or chilled.
