When my mother moved in to her new house in Bolinas, CA a few years back, I found a basic recipe (from which I adapted this recipe) for parchment poached pears scribbled on legal paper and tucked into the dust jacket of an old Joy of Cooking... So I copied it down with some liberal additions/substitutions as you do, and have been working on it since! Here is my result: Rich warmth with lots of spicy and subtle flavor but avoiding heaviness in stride makes it perfect for after big holiday meals and is sure to please! <br />Notes on flavor: remember that once you've made it a few times and have it down, as with almost any recipe you can think of, don't be afraid to experiment with quality and quantity of ingredients to find what suits your personal taste! - Pastry Ninja
