Ingredients

  

• 675 ml Red wine
• 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
• Orange juiced
• 5 Pears
• coconut/ Greek yogurt, mascarpone, or vanilla ice cream for serving
• orange zest for garnish

Instructions

 

• In a large pot over medium heat, combine the red wine, coconut sugar, orange juice and teabags. All to simmer for about 10 minutes while you peel the pears.
• Peel the pears, leaving the stems in tact. Slice a tiny bit off the bottom of each pear, this will create a flat surface for the pears to stand up when being served. 
• Place the pears in the red wine poaching liquid and allow to poach with the top on for about 30-40 minutes, turning the pears once in between to ensure the whole pear is even in color.
• After about 30 minutes, or when the pears are red and tender, gently remove from the liquid and set aside.
• Cover the pot and reduce the remaining liquid by about half, until you have a thick syrup that coats the back of a spoon. This should take 10-15 minutes. 
• Serve the pears sliced in half, or whole, with coconut yogurt, mascarpone, or vanilla ice cream. Drizzle a bit of the red wine syrup over each one then top with orange zest. 
• Cover and store leftover pears in the reduced poaching liquid in the fridge for up to 3 days.
