Here's an elegant yet simple twist on the autumn classic. Pears are oven-poached in Riesling wine, which is known for its floral accents and aromas and hints of honey and pear. Serve this dessert with lightly sweetened ricotta cheese. Delicious hot, room temperature or chilled.
4 ripe pears, preferably Bosc, with stems, washed and dried
2 cups Riesling or other fruity white wine
¼ cup honey
4 cinnamon sticks
4 bay leaves
4 strips orange zest, (see Tip)
