For a richer flavor, add a star anise or a few cloves to the poaching liquid. Use a good quality red wine for the best results. The pears will continue to deepen in color and flavor as they cool. These poached pears can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in the poaching liquid. Serve with a dollop of mascarpone cheese or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra decadent treat.
