Vanilla and white wine poached pears
White wine is just as great for poaching as red wine.
Serves: 4
Ingredients
Method
Place the wine, water, sugar and vanilla seeds into a large pot over a medium heat. Heat and stir to dissolve sugar. Place pears and thyme sprigs into liquid and simmer for about 30-40 minutes or until tender. Remove pears, set side and reduce syrup for further 5 minutes. To serve, place pears on serving plate and drizzle with syrup. We used pinot grigio.
