It might just be me, but I can’t get the song “here were come a-wassailing among the leaves so green” out of my head when I make this.  This is a dish that will make you sing not just from how easy it is but how incredibly elegant.  It makes you look like a fancy pants but still has the taste of a cozy crustless pie.  The flesh of the pear is so velvety that it cuts like buttah.

 

Trader Joe’s sells wassail, but if you don’t have access to it, you can use spiced wine or mulled cider to get the same taste.  It also acts as a free air freshener because between the poached pears and the spices of the wassail reducing; the house smells heavenly.  The big pay off for me though is drizzling on the syrupy goodness when the sauce is reduced.

If you’re tired of the more extravagant desserts you may need to prepare this week; this dessert will give you the break you need without sacrificing the wow factor.  The video shows you how to bring it all together and what the recipe should look like in different stages.
