Blushing Pomegranate Pears

These are very pretty to look at and simply delicious to consume. Your company will probably suggest that you open your own restaurant.

• 3 cups Pomegranate juice
• 4 tbsp. white sugar
• 1 cup white wine (your choice)
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 8 Bosc pears, peeled but stems kept intact

Place the juice, sugar and cinnamon stick in a large saucepan, bringing to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer until the sugar has dissolved.

Peel the pears. Place the pears in the saucepan and cover. You will cook these for approximately 17-18 minutes, turning occasionally and they are tender.

Once done, remove the saucepan from the stove and let cool to room temperature. Turn the pears a few times to retain an even colour.

To serve, place a pear in your prettiest small bowls, spoon some of the sauce over and add a generous dollop of whipped cream. YUM!
