Sous Vide Red Wine-Poached Pears
Equipment
- Sous Vide Immersion Circulator
- Cooking Container
Ingredients
- 4 ripe Bosc pears peeled
- 1 cup red wine
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup sweet vermouth
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 3" orange zest
- 1 vanilla bean seeds scraped
- vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients, except for the ice cream, in a vacuum-seal bag and seal shut. Alternatively, place the ingredients in a sealable plastic bag and dip into a large bowl of water to displace the air before sealing shut.
- Preheat a pot of water fitted with a sous vide immersion circulator to 175°F according to the manufacturer's directions. Cook the pears for 1 hour, making sure the bag remains completely submerged. Remove the bag from the pot and take the pears out of the bag.
- Core the pears and slice. Divide between 4 shallow bowls and top with vanilla ice cream. Drizzle with some of the cooking liquid, then serve.
