If you have never experimented with the combination, you might be surprised how well the sweet, delicate taste of pears goes with that of spices. There are many different recipes, with honey, white wine or red wine, with pears cooked in syrup or baked in the oven. We have selected a few that you might find interesting.

Among the recipes that most intrigued us, we would like to point out thespiced pears in the version proposed by AgriBologna, sweet and delicious, cooked in a honey syrup flavoured with star anise, cinnamon, vanilla and saffron.

Easy to prepare, but also sure to impress are the spiced pears in red wine proposed on Giallo Zafferano, in the blog ‘Da una Ricetta’.

For this recipe, you will need cloves, vanilla, cardamom, cinnamon and dehydrated pitted plums. You will prepare a simple, yet tasty and scenic dessert in no time.

As you know, pears go hand in hand with ‘cacio’, but here we are talking about desserts and in this case their perfect partner is chocolate. It is worth trying the recipe for pears in white wine with chocolate and cinnamon from Sale e Pepe.

If you want to try something more unusual and refined, you might find Csaba dalla Zorza's recipe for spiced pears with chai tea interesting. A flavour combination that is definitely worth trying if you love the aroma of chai masala, perfect in the autumn season.

The best pears for this type of recipe are kaiser and abate. We recommend using them when they are ripe enough to get the right mix of flavours.

Spiced pears could also be a good option as a Christmas dessert.
