Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 bottle champagne, preferably pink (about 3 1/2 cups)
1 cup sugar
Zest of 1/4 lemon
1 teaspoon rose water (optional)
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise (optional)
2 large pears (such as Bosc) or 4 small pears (such as Seckel), peeled (firm, slightly underripe pears work best)

Steps:

1. Combine all the ingredients except the pears in a pot and bring to a simmer.
2. Carefully lower the pears into the liquid (adding up to 1 cup water to make sure the fruit is fully submerged).
3. Simmer until the pears are tender, 15 to 17 minutes for small pears, 25 to 30 minutes for large ones.
4. Cool the pears in the cooking liquid for 30 minutes before serving, or store them in the refrigerator (still in the liquid) for up to a week.

You can also use tart apples in these light-as-air muffins. The parchment paper cups are very easy but make them look wonderful and special enough for a party! Try serving them warm with some whipped cream cheese.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup diced pears
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs, separated, yolks lightly beaten
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Sift flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt together in a large bowl. Add pears; stir to coat evenly.
Combine buttermilk, egg yolks, oil, and vanilla extract in a bowl; mix well. Stir into the pear mixture until batter is just moistened.
Beat egg whites in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until stiff but not dry. Fold egg whites into the batter until just barely incorporated. Fill muffin cups 2/3-full with batter.
Combine 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon together in a bowl; sprinkle over the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven until light golden brown and tops spring back when lightly pressed, 25 to 30 minutes.
