Pears Poached in Red Wine and Cinnamon is probably the easiest and the most elegant dessert any one can make. They are perfect for winters, and when soaked in red wine, the deeply flavored sauce and fragrant cinnamon give the fruit a beautiful taste. With minimum ingredients, you are sure to impress your visitors big time.
Although mostly eaten as is, pears add a unique twist to many different dishes, especially desserts. They can also be used in Roasted Pear and Fig Salad with Walnuts and Feta Cheese and Pear and Raisin Chutney.
