Pears Poached in Red Wine
After chilling in the wine syrup, the pears are a regal deep burgundy. Don't worry if they are pale after you poach them; they will absorb more color as they stand in the syrup. For best results, use a young, light, fruity red wine. These pretty pears make a fine dessert for a large dinner party, as you can poach them a day ahead.
