• sugar
• cinnamon stick
• clove
• orange zest
• fennel seed

Instructions

1. 1 Peel pears and remove the cores from the bottom, leaving the stems intact; set aside.
2. 2 Combine red wine, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, orange zest, fennel seed, peppercorns, and bay leaves in a large saucepan and bring to a boil; stir until sugar is dissolved. Add pears, return to a simmer, and reduce heat to medium-low; continue simmering until tender, about 25 minutes.

Ingredients

• ✓ pear
• water
• lemon
• vanilla bean
• sugar
• hot fudge topping
• vanilla ice cream

Instructions

1. 1 Place water in a heavy pot. Stir in zest and juice of 1 lemon. Place pears in pot. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Add the seeds and split pods to the poaching liquid. Pour in sugar.
2. 2 Bring pot to a simmer over medium-high heat; stir gently to dissolve sugar with minimal jostling of the pears. Reduce heat so pears continue cooking over a steady, gentle simmer. Pears need to stay submerged, so place a small plate over them in the pot to keep them under the liquid. Simmer until pears are just tender, 20 to 25 minutes. (Remove plate to test the pears for doneness.) Remove pot from heat and let pears cool to room temperature in the poaching liquid.
3. 3 Transfer pears and vanilla beans to a storage container and cover with some of the poaching liquid. Cover and refrigerate until pears are thoroughly chilled, several hours or overnight. Reserve all of the poaching liquid (see footnote).
4. 4 Heat hot fudge sauce in a saucepan over medium heat until warm. Dip base of pear into the chocolate and spoon chocolate along the sides except for the top inch or so of the pear.
5. 5 Place dipped pears in individual serving bowls with another generous spoonful of syrup and a small scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

• ✓ pear
• butter
• white sugar

• puff pastry
• milk chocolate

Instructions

1. 1 Line a tart pan with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. 2 Combine butter and 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar in a large bowl; beat using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Mix in almond flour. Add eggs 1 at a time and mix until well combined.
3. 3 Line a tart pan with the puff pastry and prick with a fork all over.
4. 4 Place chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until melted, about 5 minutes. Cool slightly. Cover puff pastry with melted chocolate.
5. 5 Carefully pour egg mixture on top of the chocolate on the puff pastry without mixing the 2 layers. Arrange pear slices on top of the tart.
6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until pastry has puffed up and is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.

Ingredients

• ✓ pear
• white sugar
• ginger
• nutmeg
• bourbon whiskey
• butter
• white sugar
• salt
• pie crust

Instructions

1. 1 Combine 2 tablespoons sugar, ginger, and nutmeg in a small bowl.
2. 2 Carefully cut away the cores from each pear half. Place one pear half into a large bowl. Cut remaining nine pear halves in half lengthwise, then cut each piece into three slices lengthwise, from the core end to the bottom. Place all slices into the bowl with the pear half. Drizzle pears with bourbon and sprinkle with sugar-spice mixture; toss until evenly coated.
3. 3 Melt butter in a 9-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add ⅔ cup sugar and salt to the melted butter; cook and stir until well combined and bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes. Place single pear half, cut-side up, into the center of the skillet. Fan remaining pear slices around the center, with the stem ends facing the center; if possible, turn the pieces in the same direction. Add all remaining pear slices to fill in any gaps.
4. 4 Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, undisturbed, until pears are fork-tender and liquid develops a golden color, about 20 minutes.
5. 5 Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place a baking sheet on a rack in the lower third of the oven. Remove refrigerated pie pastry from the package. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for unrolling crust.
6. 6 Remove the skillet from the heat. Place pie pastry over pears and tuck edges in toward the bottom of the skillet. Place the skillet onto the baking sheet in the preheated oven and reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
7. 7 Bake until crust is golden brown, 28 to 30 minutes; remove from the oven. Place a heat-safe plate, larger than the skillet, upside down over the crust.
8. 8 Use oven mitts to grab the plate and skillet together and quickly flip the skillet contents onto the plate; this move is tricky and requires some forearm strength and dexterity. After the flip, use a spatula to gently center the contents on the plate if needed. Add any fruit that didn't transfer from the skillet, then drizzle any remaining liquid over the top of the tarte.
9. 9 Let the tarte sit for 15 to 20 minutes, then serve warm.

Ingredients

• ✓ pear
• pineapple juice
• white sugar

Instructions

1. 1 Place chopped pears into a large pot, and pour pineapple juice over them to prevent them from browning. Stir in sugar, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir frequently to prevent scorching. When the pears are at a full boil, reduce heat to medium, and cook until the mixture is the color and texture of honey. The longer you cook it, the thicker it gets. Cooking time is usually 2 to 3 hours.
2. 2 Ladle into hot sterile jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Wipe rims with a clean damp cloth, and seal jars with lids and rings. Process in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes, or the amount of time recommended by your local extension for your area.
