Directions for: Poached Pears With Gorgonzola

Ingredients

8 semi-ripe pears, peeled and cored

2 bottle red wine (approx. 1 L)

1 cup honey (250 ml)

6 sprig fresh thyme

1 bay leaf

7 oz Gorgonzola cheese, at room temperature (200 g)

1 bottle Devon cream (170 g)

2 Tbsp sugar (30 ml)

Directions

1. In a heavy stainless steel saucepan, over medium-high heat, combine wine, honey and herbs and bring to a boil.

2. Add the pears to the poaching liquid, reduce the heat until the pears barely simmer and cover with a round of parchment paper.

3. Poach the pears until tender when pierced with a knife.

4. Remove from heat and let pears cool in the poaching liquid. Refrigerate pears in the poaching liquid overnight so that the pears get totally saturated with the ruby redness of the wine.

5. The next day, remove the pears from the poaching liquid and set aside. Place the poaching liquid in a heavy stainless steel saucepan and reduce the liquid over medium-high heat until only s of a cup remains. Cool the syrup.

6. Combine the Gorgonzola, Devon cream and sugar in a bowl and beat together. Do not overwork or the cream will thicken too much.

7. Place a pear in a shallow serving bowl, drizzle some of the red wine glaze over the pear, finish with a dollop of Gorgonzola cream and serve.
