Hi Margery, that’s wonderful! The crumble you see is crushed praline. I added that note to the recipe. Happy baking!

I’m going to make this recipe on Saturday. Can you please tell me what the crumble is that you used to serve the pears?
Thanks, Margery

I know this is going to sound crazy but my husband just poached cherries in the same poaching liquid and they were amazing. We had them as a sauce over vanilla ice cream!

If you find any stone fruit, such as plums, apricots and peaches that are slightly under ripe, you can poach them. But, you have to be careful not to let them get mushy.

Thanks for the great question, I’ll have to keep thinking of more fruits and get back to you.

Zoë

Yes, we omnivores must accommodate the vegans in our lives, so why not make it something that satisfies everyone!

Thanks, Zoë

like you said it’s obviously suitable for vegans, so this is one me (an avid eater of meat) and my vegan friend can enjoy 😀

The Sangria is another great idea! I’ll have to try both of these.

Thanks, Zoë

When making “brandied” pears she usually just uses an inexpensive brandy like Christian Bros to simmer the pears, and adds nothing else.

We love them either way.

Thanks! I hope you try them out with the pomegranate juice and report back!

Brandy sounds excellent as well. Do you do that with the red wine or a white?

Zoë
