Ingredients:
6 pears, peeled and stems left on
1 bottle of white wine
1 cup sugar
1 cinnamon stick
1 vanilla pod, split
Crème fraiche, for garnish
Instructions:
Pour enough of the wine into a medium size pot to cover the pears, but do not add the pears. Add the sugar, cinnamon stick and vanilla pod. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Peel the pears, leaving them whole with the stems on.
Place the pears in the simmering liquid and poach for about 1-1 1/2 hours. Remove the pears and place on a cutting board. Continue to cook the wine until it thickens and reduces by two-thirds.
To serve: place one pear into a shallow soup bowl; spoon some of the poaching liquid on top, and garnish with a dollop of crème fraiche.
Make it stand out.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
