Abuelita Poire Belle Helene

(0 stars based on 0 reviews)
Pears simmer comfortably in a dry red wine, sugar and cinnamon flavor bath until tender, and then are plated in a delicious chocolate sauce. This Abuelita Poire Belle Helene recipe was inspired by a 19th century French recipe named after an opera. The name means Beautiful Helene Pears. Traditionally it is served with candied violets or sliced almonds but you can use your imagination and garnish with your choice of toppings, if desired. This recipe may be served warm or cold.
