@Rachel: You know how there are days when the colors and lighting situation all align and food photography is so effortless? It was definitely like that with these vibrant poached pears. They were workin’ the camera and brining sexy back! I just snapped away

@Olive: It’s seems a lot more difficult to make than it really is. Just make a huge batch of the red wine sauce in one of those industrial-sized pots and throw them all in at once. Wish I could help out in the kitchen

It looks very tasty but a little difficult to make unfortunately…any suggestion on how to cook it for 10 people in an hotel without spending 10 hours?

@Sook: I love pears! I actually prefer them over apples. They’re great poached, in a tart or even with cheese!

I still havent made much with pears… I really need to. I always say “Oh I am going to get some pears today and make something delicious with them!” but always fail to do that… Your post makes me want to get some pears right now.

I have a friend who makes a “pear pie” and it’s always worth a second slice. Sounds like this is just as good.

@Viviane: Thank you! Hope you’ll have a chance to try these poached pears once they are in season for you. Perhaps the not-so-ripe pears might be good since you are poaching them and they will become tender and juicy in the process? Glad you stopped by my blog

This is the 2nd time in a 2 weeks span that I have seen a dessert with pears and wine. They are not really in season here now and the ones you find are not really ripe. Still I have cravings for a pear/juice dessert now. Lovely pictures.
