Gluten Free Desserts: Delicious Poached Pears

Gluten Free Desserts Ingredients:

This preparation can be served to 4 persons

•    4 peeled slightly ripe pears
•    1 quartered, navel orange
•    1 lemon
•   Red wine or white wine (half bottle)
•    5 cloves
•    1 cinnamon stick
•    Vanilla extract (¼ teaspoon)
•    Sugar (¾ cup)

Dessert Ingredients:

1. Take a small saucepan, put it on the stove, and set the heat at medium-high.
2. Pour the wine and juice from orange and lemon and add sugar, vanilla extract, cloves, cinnamon, and one of the squeezed orange quarters on the saucepan.
3. Once the mixture is boiling, turn down the heat to simmer and add the pears.
4. Keep them cooking for at least 25 minutes until the pears become tender and can easily be pierced with a fork or knife. During this time, do not put a lid on the saucepan and keep turning the pears occasionally.
5. Scoop the pears out of the mixture and put each of them on separate plates.
6. Now, remove the spices and orange quarter from the mixture and simmer the liquid for nearly 15 minutes until it is thickened and becomes syrupy.
7. Keep the syrup in the refrigerator to become cool. After that, pour it over the pears and serve!
