Ingredients

  • 4 pears
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 tablespoons corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pears:

    • Start by washing the pears thoroughly. There’s no need to peel them for this recipe.
  2. Cooking Process:

    • Place the washed pears in a saucepan.

    • Add the ground ginger, corn syrup, and dry white wine to the saucepan with the pears.

    • Cover the saucepan and heat it over a medium flame for 5-7 minutes until the mixture starts to simmer.

    • Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for about 20 minutes, or until the pears are tender when pierced with a fork. The ginger and wine will infuse beautifully into the pears during this time.

  3. Chill and Serve:

    • Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the ginger pears to cool slightly.

    • Serve the ginger pears warm, chilled, or at room temperature, depending on your preference. They pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent touch.
