Oh, how this takes me back. My mom’s favourite dinner party dessert when I was a little girl was pears poached in red wine. She has a wide, round teracotta dish in which she always poached a huge batch (as you advise!) and kept some in the fridge for later. The coring issue is a double-edged sword – they are much easier to pick up if you leave them uncored (handy little stem handles!) but you are right – they end up with a pale centre. Catch 22! Glad you mentioned cardamom – it’s one of the best flavour partners for pears that I know of!

These are exceptional photos and recipes. One of my favorite simple winter pear recipes is to peel and slice a pear, top with crumbled blue cheese and chopped walnuts and a drizzle of balsalmic vinegar.

Me again… I see you’ve been nominated alongside myself for Happy 101 Award from Nora The Kitchen Splorer. I would certainly have passed this on to you if she had not beaten me to it so I’ve given you a special mention in my latest post anyway!
