A RECIPE FOR PEARS IN RED WINE

Pears differ from most fruits in that they gain flavour in the week or two between picking the fruit and ripening , they cannot concentrate their flavours if left on the tree .
Try this old recipe of pears cooked in red wine ....
Preheat your oven to 160 deg C
Peel 6 firm pears , leave the stalks attached to use as handles .
Trim the base so they sit upright in your casserole dish .
Sprinkle 1 dsp of minced ginger around the pears .
Add a good red wine to half the height of the pears .
Place the dish uncovered  in the oven .
Cooking time will depend on the ripeness of the pears , usually by the time most of the wine has evaporated .
Serve in warmed dessert bowls and drizzle with  remaining wine and ginger from the casserole and serve with honey and thickened cream ....
An oldie but a goodie .
