Pacherenc-poached winter pears with dark chocolate & salted pistachio cookies
Cookies
Pacherenc is a regional delicacy in the South West of France. It is a wine of sweet or "moelleux" variety and most notably reminiscent of a Sauterne or Jurancon (which you can also use if a Pacherenc is not available). We were married in the South West of France and we still have many bottles left over from that day...so using 1 bottle for a festive fall dessert didn't seem like such a bad idea. You can make these pears without the cookie base and simply use ice cream, but the cookie really gives the dessert a nice crunch & a hint of saltiness.
