The second recipe in my 2 back-to-back desserts is Poached Pears in Red Wine.Probably the perfect and most elegant dessert during the holiday season!!The fruit,the spice and Red Red Wine is what makes it so special.Its got just the right colors that compliment the holidays,so why not try making these for a change to serve your guests!
Its a dessert that not many people make on a regular basis.Wonder why, considering its pretty easy to make.Or maybe it just waits for a special occasion to get its due! Its a dessert that’s forgotten in the scheme of things during holidays since most people think of cookies and cakes to be made at this time.
In any case, I have decided to do justice to this and present it to my guests!As I’ve mentioned earlier we love fruit based desserts and this is one of our favorites.The sweetness from the pears and the Red Wine perfectly compliment the spices and the result is a luscious, rich,red dessert that is just so exquisite!You can also create this dish with peaches instead of pears or a combination of both!Its a delightful dish that can also be a stunning centerpiece at your next party!

I too like fruit desserts and this will be great, why not with red wine as I am a wine drinker during the weekends. Nice pairing with the ice-cream.

I was searching for a pear poached in wine. I’m glad that I bumped into your blog. I will give this a try. Cloves sound like a great idea.
