Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bottle champagne, preferably pink (about 3 1/2 cups)
1 cup sugar
Zest of 1/4 lemon
1 teaspoon rose water (optional)
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise (optional)
2 large pears (such as Bosc) or 4 small pears (such as Seckel), peeled (firm, slightly underripe pears work best)

Steps:

  • 1. Combine all the ingredients except the pears in a pot and bring to a simmer.
  • 2. Carefully lower the pears into the liquid (adding up to 1 cup water to make sure the fruit is fully submerged).
  • 3. Simmer until the pears are tender, 15 to 17 minutes for small pears, 25 to 30 minutes for large ones.
  • 4. Cool the pears in the cooking liquid for 30 minutes before serving, or store them in the refrigerator (still in the liquid) for up to a week.

MIMOSA POACHED PEARS WITH CHAMPAGNE SAUCE

The mixture of flavors with the orange juice mix is different and light. I just loved it. There are a few steps, but this is an easy dessert to prepare. I did have to simmer the pears a bit longer that the recipe called for to get them more tender, but that could have been the particular pear that I was using. These are great...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 pears
4 c orange juice, frozen concentrate
2 c champagne, dry
1/4 c honey
1 tsp ginger
2 c whipping cream, whipped
2/3 c confectioner's sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 Tbsp cocoa, unsweetened

Steps:

  • 1. Make chocolate cake icing first: Beat cream until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Gradually add 1/2 Cup of confectioner's sugar, vanilla extract and cocoa. Beat until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes.
  • 2. Core pears from the bottom, leaving stems in place. Peel pears.
  • 3. In a small dutch oven, whisk together orange juice, champagne, honey and Ginger. Bring to a boil over a medium-high heat.
  • 4. Stuff pears with 1 to 2 tablespoons of chocolate icing each.
  • 5. Add pears to champagne and orange juice simmering in the dutch oven, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. The icing will melt into the poaching liquid. This will add a subtle chocolate flavor to the pears as well.
  • 6. Remove pears from the poaching liquid with a slotted spoon and set aside in a large bowl.
  • 7. In a separate large mixing bowl, with an electric mixer, mix together 1/3 cup of icing with 2/3 Cup of the poaching liquid and 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar. Mix on high for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • 8. Serve in a saucer type champagne glass or other small shallow dish. Spoon chocolate sauce over warm pears and garnish with a sprig of mint leaves.
