Image via WikipediaHow about an unusual combination of cooked fruits? Pears (fresh, peeled and quartered) complement wonderfully figs (the simple, sun-dried variety), with an appetizing bittersweet result. Cooked in wine, the figs become big and soft, and are beautifully set off by the pears.
How to do it? Super simple:
Ingredients for 4 people:
3 to 4 pears, peeled and quartered
A dozen sun-dried figs or more - snip off the tail, it's too hard to cook, but leave them whole
One small glass of Sweet Martini White Wine (or any sweet wine will do)
1 to 2 tablespoons of Brown Sugar (the quantity depends on how sweet your pears are)
Method
Put everything in a pot and cover. Cook on a low fire until the pears are soft but haven't come undone (about 10 minutes)
Enjoy! It's best lukewarm...
Btw, pears are a wonderful addition in the kitchen, often making for unusual tastes. Check out the recipe below and you'll see what I mean:
