Hot Pear!

Hot pear dessert is a delightful classic treat that originates from France and the wine-producing regions of Burgundy and Lyon. In the past, making this dessert was a way to use fruits that hadn’t fully ripened on the tree and prevent them from going to waste. This tasty dessert can be a great option on cold winter nights or during a family gathering.

To prepare this dessert, use pears that are neither too firm nor overly ripe. Peel the pears. Place a cinnamon stick, a few cloves, and a large cup of red wine in a pot. The wine should cover the pears at least halfway, so it’s advisable to choose a small pot. Place it on low heat, as the wine should not come to a boil. During cooking, regularly spoon the wine over the pears.

It takes about 30 minutes for the pears to be cooked to a tender and semi-cooked state. This dessert is consumed warm. You can enjoy it as is or serve it with a scoop of ice cream on the side. That’s it! It’s done!
