Delicious Poached Pears With Raspberry Sauce
This poached pear with raspberry sauce is fairly new to me, as i'm sure it's new to you as well. I was talking to a restaurant chef and he told me this was so delicious and he was so right. This makes a wonderful dessert and side dish for a family dinner or special occasion. This delicious sauce makes these poached pears 100 times better than before! I even managed to get my young cousin to eat pears and she hates them! This is something I will be keeping on my kitchen shelf for the rest of my life, and you should too.

- 4 medium pears, cored and peeled
- lemon juice
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups frozen, lightly sweetened red raspberries, thawed
- 1/3 cup white wine
- 4 teaspoons sugar
- Cut a thin slice off the bottom of each pear so it stands; rub pears with lemon juice. In a large saucepan, bring water to boiling. Place pears upright in pan. (add additional water to cover pears, if necessary, to prevent pears from turning brown.) Return to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes or till tender. Chill pears in cooking liquid.
- For sauce, place berries in a blender container or food processor bowl. Cover and blend or process till pureed; Press berries through a sieve to remove seeds.
- Place berries in a small saucepan; stir in wine and sugar. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes or till reduced to 3/4 cup, stirring occasionally. Chill.
- To serve, spoon most of the raspberry sauce onto 4 serving plates. Remove pears from poaching liquid; place upright in sauce. Spoon remaining sauce over pears. Serves 4.
