Ingredients
  

  • 1 bottle (750 ml) Mirabeau Etoile Provence Rosé
  • 100 g (3.5 oz) Caster Sugar
  • 4 Pears peeled, halved and cored
  • a couple of Bay Leaves
  • a sprig of Thyme

Instructions
 

  • Place the rosé, sugar, bay leaves and thyme in a large saucepan and bring it to the boil until the sugar has melted.
  • Reduce it to a simmer and then carefully add the halved pears.
  • They need to be completely submerged, so top up with a little water if necessary.
  • Let the pears simmer in the rosé mixture for about 20-25 minutes, until they’re soft when pierced with a sharp knife or skewer. The time will depend on the ripeness of your pears.
  • When the pears are ready, remove them from the poaching liquid and place in a large bowl.
  • Increase the heat and bring the poaching liquid back to a boil. Let it bubble and reduce for about 15 minutes, until it’s slightly syrupy.
  • Pour the rosé syrup over the pears.

Notes

Pears will ripen after picking. For this recipe, the fruit should be slightly soft when pressed near the stem.
