Pears poached in sweet and spicy red wine, I like to serve these poached pears as a side to venison or pork, delicious as dessert too!
This is a comforting dessert for cold Winter nights, because, as a bonus, you get to drink this delicious warm and spiced wine as a toddy/grog.
These pears can also be served as a side for venison, they pair very well with deer sirloin or tenderloin.
As for the wine, choose a wine that you would enjoy drinking, no need to spend too much, choose a rather fruity and light wine, I always use an Italian wine called “Dolcetto”.
I served these pears as a side to my « Deer Sirloin and its Sides » recipe, click here for my recipe.
