Drunken Pears !!

Wishing you all A very Happy & Successful New Year !

Drunken Pears

When I had this 'Drunken Pears' dessert for the first time.. I was so floored with the way they were served ( truly a jewel on the plate) .. the sweet & savory … my taste buds were well treated ❤❤❤!!! I reserved this recipe to share on my blog with you all for the special day..this new year eve !!!…here is the recipe for you all…

The original recipe is with red wine… I just wanted to turn this dessert a sober & non-alcoholic… used orange juice & pomegranate juice (POM)…If you don't mind binging on an alcohol induced dessert..go with the red wine… 🍷

Ingredients :

Pears - 2 (small to medium size)
Sugar - 2 table spoons
Orange Juice - 1/2 cup
Pomegranate Juice - 1 cup
Water - 1/2 cup
Cinnamon stick / vanilla bean - 1 (OPTIONAL)

Preparation :

- I used POM : Pomegranate cherry juice & freshly sqeezed orange juice.

Drunken Pears

- Wash the pears, peel off & remove the seeds with seed remover. If you don't have seed remover…no issues..just leave them… even the bottom of the pears..so that while serving it would be easy.

Drunken Pears

- In a sauce pan add the pom, orange juice, cinnamon stick, vanilla bean & sugar.

- Make sure the sugar is dissolved completely.

Drunken Pears

- Bring the pom & orange juice mix to boil & then add the pears to the sauce pan, cover the pan with a lid and let them cook under low heat.

- Occasionally turn the pears gently so that pears will evenly absorb the flavor and the color.

Drunken Pears

- Don't over cook the pears, test with a fork or toothpick. turn off the heat & take the drunken pears out ..let them come to room temperature.

……. & Serve the drunken pears with a scoop of Vanilla Ice cream  or whipped cream or cream cheese with honey on the side and top with the pom sauce - the drunken pears were cooked in…

Once again wish you all Happy New Year.. have a great year ahead !
