Pear in caramel: recipe with wine and spices

Fruits as a dessert are seen as an excellent end to dinner. If guests come to you, and you want to surprise and please them, prepare an unusual dessert. Pear in caramel, filled with syrup based on wine, will be appreciated and will probably become one of your crown dishes.

Two options for dessert

Before cooking, you have to decide for yourself which goal you pursue first. If the main thing is to show the guests the ideal appearance of the prepared dish, then you do not need to peel the fruits. And if you want to destroy on the spot with the finest and piquant tart flavor of the dessert served, then you have to peel. Thus, the wine and spices are completely absorbed into the fruit pulp during heat treatment. To ensure that the fruits are not boiled and turned into a fruit puree when cooked, we will select exclusively solid, even hard, pears for our dessert.

Pear in caramel, recipe. Ingredients

• Pears hard - 3 pcs.
• Wine red semidry - 1.5 cups
• Half a nutmeg.
• Sugar - 5 tbsp. Spoons.
• Carnation with umbrellas - 3 pcs.

Of course, if more visitors are expected, we will proportionally increase the number and weight of components.

Pear in caramel, the recipe of which is given here, is prepared not on water, but on wine. Therefore, such a dessert is contraindicated for children. We will consider that this delicacy is intended for purely adult gatherings and heart-to-heart talks.

Fineness of preparation

Cooked, washed (if necessary - peeled) pears we put in a saucepan.

We remember that for 3 pears we take only one and a half glasses of wine, so the fruits will not be completely filled with wine. Pour the wine, directly into the pan, rub the nutmeg, add the cloves. Turn on the fire and bring our future dessert to a boil, then reduce the fire to the lowest possible. Cover the pan with a lid and let the pears cook for 15 minutes, just as they lay, not turning the fruit on the other side. At the end of this time, open the lid and carefully turn over the fruit that has not yet reached the ready level with a fork. Inverted fruits leave to cook for another 10 minutes.

Important!

When preparing a dish such as a pear in caramel, the recipe of which we describe, you should not allow the digestion of fruits, as the appearance can be spoiled. Fruits should soften, but still retain shape. Therefore, longer cooking is contraindicated. We can say that our pears, after the general cooking time, will be brought only to half-preparedness. This is facilitated by incomplete coating of their liquid.

First we take out the pears from the pan and transfer them to a separate bowl. Also remove the cloves from the pan, it has already given its piquancy to the fruits - has done its work. We will prepare the syrup for the wine left over from cooking. Since the liquid in the pan is still hot, there should be no problems with the preparation of the syrup. Pour sugar, stir and bring the mass to a boil. And this time the boiling should be stormy. To the pear in caramel (in syrup) turned out deliciously delicious, it is necessary to fix the moment of appearance of bubbling foam on the surface. Before the syrup thickens, you must constantly stir the contents of the pan.

We combine syrup and pears

It's time to remember the semi-welded fruits and briefly bring them back to the pan. We put pears in syrup and cook a little more, in time - no more than 10 minutes. Remove the pears from the pan will still be hot and immediately put on a serving dish. The remainders of the syrup will be filled with hot fruits, evenly distributing the liquid over the surface. Dessert pear in caramel, the recipe of which is here granted, will resemble the taste of caramel-jelly, if you serve the dish chilled to a warm state.

The taste of this dessert is amazing: natural fruit aroma combined with delicate spicy caramel and slightly tart notes of red wine. The time set aside for cooking is minimal, and there is no hassle with slicing fruit. The only problem that can arise after the preparation of dessert is cleaning the pan. But this is such a small, compared to the received pleasure from the unsurpassed taste.
