Once upon a time tolerance was the power that kept lovers of competing faiths from killing each other. It was the principle that put freedom above forced conversion. It was rooted in the truth that coerced conviction is no conviction. But now the new twisted tolerance denies that there are any competing faiths; they only complement each other. It denounces not only the effort to force conversions, but the very idea that any conversion may be necessary. It holds the conviction that no religious conviction should claim superiority over another.

INSTRUCTIONS

ESSENCE OF EMERIL SHOW #EE2267
In a sauce pot, dissolve the sugar in the white wine and simmer for 1-2
minutes. Add the dried red currents to plump them. In a separate bowl, toss
the pears with the balsamic, add to the sauce pot and cook for 3-4 minutes,
stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper. The mixture should be
tender but the pears pieces should still be intact. To assemble, carve the
duck breast and place half of the compote in the center of the plate and
fan the breast over the compote. Spoon the reduced sauce over the meat.
Place two long chives over the compote making an X. Essence the rim.
