Oysters, Strawberries and Pears
Pears Poached in Barolo
Serves 6
Ingredients:
450ml Barolo (can be substituted with any other full
bodied wine)
1/2 cinnamon stick
2 star anise
150g golden caster sugar
8 large pears
Directions:
Place the first 4 ingredients in a saucepan and slowly
heat until the sugar dissolves.
Increase the beat and bubble away for about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile peel the pears leaving on the stalks.
Place them in the wine mixture and cover with a lid.
Cook for 10 minutes then turn them gently so the pears are wine stained
all over.
Continue cooking for 10 to 15 minutes until tender to the point of a
knife.
Remove to a glass bowl and pour over the liquid.
Cool then serve with plenty of cream.
