Ingredients
- 1 bottle your favorite dry Champagne or Sparkling wine
- 1 cup sugar
- ΒΌ cup lemon juice
- 1 pinch saffron threads
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
- 2 large firm pears (such as Bosc) or 4 small firm pears (such as Seckle), peeled or partially peeled.
Directions
- Combine all the ingredients except the pears in a pot and bring to a simmer.
- Carefully lower the pears into the liquid (adding up to 1 cup water to make sure the fruit is fully submerged).
- Simmer until the pears are tender, 15 to 17 minutes for small pears, 25 to 30 minutes for large ones.
- If serving the same day cool the pears in the cooking liquid for 30 minutes before serving.
- If making ahead, cool the pears and syrup separately. Pears may be stored in syrup in the fridge for up to a week.
