Poached Pears in White Wine with Toffee Dessert

Poached pears in white wine are the perfect addition to any holiday menu.

I don’t know what it is about pears, but they always make a dessert more ‘fancy’. It didn’t take long for me to decide what to do with a carton of pears that Kyle was gifted. I was going to poach them for a dessert! Here is an easy poached pears in white wine with toffee dessert, perfect for all.

‘Partridge in a pear tree.’

This song will never get old during the Christmas holiday.

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a partridge in a pear tree.

Not sure if it is this verse that has me thinking all about pears while I prepare a Christmas menu, but here I am with a poached pear recipe. This one is great for prepping a head as well as more than easy! I prepped the pears the day before, and then finished it all up the next morning. It was ready to go by lunch.

This dessert was even a hit with my kids. I would say that’s a plus! If you aren’t a fan of toffee, you can opt for gingersnaps for another festive twist. Another thing to note about this recipe is that I used cooking white wine because it is what I had on hand. You can go with Chardonnay or another white dry wine to give it more flavor. The cooking white wine is good, but it doesn’t add as much flavor as a good white wine would bring.
