Desserts
Pears in Red Wine
Strong red wine (Shiraz/Syrah) 500 ml
Firm pears 6
Cinnamon stick 1
Vanilla pod 1
Peel of half an orange
Water 200 ml
Fructose 150g
Method
Pour the wine into your Slow
Cooker and then place in the pears,
making sure that they are sitting
upright. Add the remaining
ingredients and cook for 5 hours.
Once cooked remove pears, set a
side while you put the liquid in to a
frying pan and briskly reduce by half
or until you have a consistency of
double cream. Bear in mind that the
more you reduce the liquid the
sweeter it will become.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or a
blob of fromage frais.
Great because...
Pears are rich in soluble fibre which
helps to control blood sugar and
blood cholesterol levels.
It is a low calorie pudding with
almost a third of your day’s fibre per
serving.
