Wine Poached Pears are one of those beautifully presented desserts that is so easy to make, it almost feels like cheating. As a minimalist, I prefer to make desserts that don’t require a variety of equipment or special pans. This one is great, because it looks so beautiful and yet requires so little. Wine Poached Pears are a definite favorite at our house. You can see the mouths begin to water anytime someone brings it up, and really, no one wants to wait for a special occasion to have it again.
