Poached pears are a simple yet elegant dessert to serve at the holidays. This recipe has the colors and flavors of fall, making it perfect for Thanksgiving.
Holiday Poached Pears
4 fresh pears (I used Bosc)
1 cup bourbon
1/4 cup cranberries
1/4 cup honey
1 cup water
1 tbs. vanilla
1 tbs. ground cinnamon
Core and peel the pears, leaving the stems on. Combine all other ingredients in a pot and mix, then place pears in the pot. Simmer until pears are soft but not falling apart–roughly 25 minutes. Goes well with vanilla ice cream.
