Title: Poached Pears w/Orange Cream
Categories: Fruits, Citrus, Wine, Dairy
Yield: 2 Pears

2 Firm medium pears
1 1/2 c Water
1 c Dry red wine
1/2 c Sugar
2 ts Vanilla extract
1/4 c Sour cream
2 ts Confectioners' sugar
1/2 ts Grated orange zest
1/8 ts Orange extract
Additional grated orange
- zest; opt

Core pears from bottom, leaving stems intact. Peel
pears; cut 1/4" from bottom to level if necessary.
Place pears on their sides in a large saucepan. Add
water, wine, sugar and vanilla. Bring to a boil. Reduce
heat; simmer, covered, turning once, until pears are
almost tender, 35-40 minutes. (For more intense flavor
and color, leave fruit in cooking liquid and refrigerate
overnight.)

Meanwhile, combine sour cream, confectioners' sugar,
orange zest and extract. Refrigerate until serving.

Remove pears with a slotted spoon; pat dry and, if warm,
cool to room temperature. Discard cooking liquid. Place
pears on dessert plates. Serve with orange cream; if
desired, top with additional grated orange zest.
