Gourmets of Wine > Sugar High Friday: Ginger

http://www.spittoonextra.biz [SpittoonExtra: Food, Photographs, EBBP and Foodography.] To the pears - allow two pears per person for a generous person, so in this case four, peel and dice them and simmer in a pan for about 10 minutes with 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (I also added some juice from a squeezed piece of ginger), a teaspoon of lemon zest, 2-3 teaspoons lemon juice, 1/4 cup (I added a big splash) of the dessert wine and 2-4 tablespoons granulated sugar. The cookbook has an optional addition of vanilla bean seeds but I added a little vanilla essence to some whipped cream and served that on top.

Personally, I love it with a rich sherry or a tawny port, but if I must have wine -- and frequently, I must -- I do love it with a comforting glass of Sangiovese.
