I made this last Easter for my boyfriends meat and potatoes family and they LOVED this! They especially got a kick out the fact that the pears come out pink. I usually like to spoon the sauce onto the plate first and put a pear half on top off center, then I put small drops of chocolate syrup in the sauce and next to the pear half and run a toothpick through the chocolate drops to make heart shapes. Ingredients:
4 bosc pears, peeled halved and cored |
2 cups strawberry wine (i find arbor mist works the best) |
1 cup water |
4 tablespoons sugar-free strawberry jam |
2 tablespoons vanilla extract |
2 tablespoons orange juice |
1 tablespoon cinnamon |
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
Directions:
1. In a medium sauce pot bring wine, water, preserves, vanilla, orange juice, and cinnamon to a boil.
2. Once boiling add the pear halves and reduce liquid to a simmer. Continue simmering until pears are tender about 5-10 minutes.
3. Remove pears and set aside and whisk corn starch into the liquid in the sauce pot. Continue to simmer stirring constantly until liquid as thickened.
