I'm making the dish to serve with an extraordinary dessert wine for an important family reunion and birthday dinner April 28th. <BR/><BR/>Please don't be upset that I captured your 'something from nothing' driven dish for a lavish meal...we are definitely more in your vein than extravigant; this is a specal occasion.<BR/><BR/>I'll send you a photo after the event.<BR/><BR/>John DonohueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22697336.post-30900311095355610592007-02-18T11:06:00.000-05:002007-02-18T11:06:00.000-05:00Hi, found your blog while I was googling for a poa...Hi, found your blog while I was googling for a poached pear recipe that didn't use wine.

I love this recipe -- simple and good. And from a fellow Canadian, so even better. Mine are cooling as we speak and I'm going to eat them with vanilla ice-cream in about five minutes...News Kittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04208314206752321928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22697336.post-1144460100462122752006-04-07T21:35:00.000-04:002006-04-07T21:35:00.000-04:00Hi Rob,Thanks for your comment.

We made poached pears for Sugar High Friday a couple of months ago, and we had a lot of poaching liquid that went unused.
