Directions Red Wine Poached Pears with Chocolate Filling
Directions
-
Cut bottom off each pear and core from the bottom to give each pear a flat bottom to stand upright.
Combine wine, water, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and star anise in a large saucepan, bring to a boil. Reduce heat and arrange pears on their sides in the saucepan. Simmer pears for 10 to 12 minutes. Turn pears and continue simmering until tender and easily poked with a fork, 8 to 10 minutes. Work in batches if needed.
Remove pears from wine mixture and place in a serving dish, standing upright. Continue boiling wine sauce until reduced to about 3/4 cup, 5 to 10 more minutes.
Fill each pear's core cavity with chocolate sauce. Pour wine sauce over each pear.
