Pear in spicy wine bath....


Have you been in a situation where u had to cook up a dessert almost instantly and impress a guest who turned up unannounced? Well,...i like similar situations coz..it puts me under pressure,which is good sometimes;) and i end up making something from the ingredients present at home.

PEAR IN SPICY WINE BATH..was a revelation..and a savior in a situation like that.I got the idea from the internet of-course..along with my special touch;) it was a huge hit.

The simplicity of this dessert is surprising yet has an exotic complexity.
Its low fat,no butter,milk or eggs,..
just fruity, spicy-sweet and lil intoxicating may be;)

I do not know the exact measurements...an idea with my cooking instincts is usually a success.

So,to give you an idea...
1)make the spicy wine bath,by boiling some good quality red wine
2) some sugar(i prefer the brown one),
3)some spices like clove,star anise,pepper,cinnamon stick or cinnamon powder.
4)add the pear halves in to the boiling spicy wine bath
5)boil till the wine thickens and becomes like syrup.
6) The pears will become soft and brown.

Serve it hot with the wine syrup.I missed out to take a pic in the serving dish but i have the picture which i took in the boiling stage.It shows how the pears turned golden and heavenly....
