(Pears a la Bordelaise) This recipe is tweaked from another recipe and it is perfection! These are great along side vanilla ice cream or alone. serves 6Ingredients:
6 fresh pears: peeled, cored and halved
1 lemon: for lemon juice and a slice of peel
1/2 cup Bordeaux wine
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cinnamon stick
2 tbsp rum
*To make sure pears don't brown while preparing other ingredients, dip them in water
In a large pot, combine wine, liquor, sugar, cinnamon and peel
Bring to a slight boil
Add pear halves
Cook gently until tender
Place on a plate and cool
After all pears are cooked, cook the syrup
Once half the original quantity pour over the pears
Voila!
