<甜蜜蜜篇之紅酒燴梨子> Poached Pear in Red Wine

很久以前聽過見過這道甜品, 直到上個月到法國旅行第一次試食紅酒燴梨子. 第一次食已愛上了~~ 清甜的梨子, 加上陣陣香濃撲鼻的紅酒味, 做法簡單, 外觀漂亮!  絕對是招呼客人最理想的甜品!

Poached Pears in Red Wine -  The first time I heard about this dish was through a TV show, but not until last month I finally tried it out in Paris. I totally fell in love with it. I personally do not like '' sweet and greasy'' dessert, yet this one is extraordinarily tasty and I highly recommend it for dinner party at home.  It looks elegant and professional ( easy and simple recipe), more importantly,  it tastes fantastic!

材料:

• 啤梨去皮   2 個 (想外觀好看的, 就小心保留梨的莖部位子)
• 紅酒  (足夠蓋住整個梨子)
• 白糖    150克 (試味- 可增可減)
• 玉桂枝   1條
• 橙皮碎    1/2茶匙  

Ingredients:

• 2   Peeled pear (carefully peel the pears, trying to keep the stalks intact)
• Red wine ( enough to cover the surface of the pears in pan)
• 150 g  sugar (optional)
• 1      Cinnamon stick 

做法:

1. 先將紅酒和糖用中火煮至糖溶解。(試味)
2. 將梨子橫放小鍋中, 然後再加鍋蓋。轉小火，煮約 20分鐘，翻轉另一面，繼續煮 20分鐘。
3. 重複 (2)，直至啤梨變軟和色澤平均
4. 當質感變軟稔即成 (小心煮太耐會破壞梨子的外觀)
5. 取出梨子, 站立式放在碟中間代涼, 其間開中火將紅酒汁煮至濃稠, 最後慢慢用匙將汁倒於梨子上

How??

• Put all ingredients into a pan (except the pears), can add some sugar 
• Carefully sit the pears (depends on the size, or lay them down) in the pan. Cover and simmer gently for 20 mins in low heat, then turn it over and cook it 20 mins.
• Repeat the this step until the pears are just soft ( prevent over-cook it)
• Take the pears out of the pan and allow the sauce to simmer without a lid on, until it has reduced by about half. Serve the pears warm with the cooking liquid pour over.
