Poached Pears

J & I made this over the weekend with three pears we picked up.

Peel and core pears, poach in 1 cup white wine, 1 cup water and 1/2 cup sugar for 8 minutes.

Remove pears with slotted spoon and boil down your mixture till it is a syrup (another 8 minutes or more - don't get impatient!).

Chop up at least 4 oz of semisweet chocolate and whisk it into the syrup. Pour over pears and serve with vanilla ice cream and bliss out.

I should really be taking more pictures of the food I blog about.
