Yields 2 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 bottle of champagne or sparkling wine
- 1 c. sugar
- 1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise (I substituted 1/2 tsp. vanilla)
- Zest of 1/4 lemon
- 2 pears, peeled
Directions:
- Combine the champagne, sugar, vanilla bean and lemon zest in a small pot and bring to a simmer.
- Submerge the pears completely in the simmering liquid and cover. Cook for ~15 minutes for small pears and ~30 minutes for large ones (mine needed 35 minutes).
- After the pears are tender, remove the pot from the heat and let the pears sit in the poaching liquid for at least 30 minutes before serving, or store in the refrigerator for no longer than 1 week.
