Dornish Pears in Wine

Worthy of the sunny Dorne and it's famous wine, this A Game of Thrones dish pairs, well pears and wine for a sweet treat. No poison added, no matter what Lady Olenna Tyrell says.

  4. Pour mixture into a sauce pan and simmer on low for 15 min, stirring ocassionally.
  5. Add orange slices as garnish and serve warm.

Notes

We kick this up a notch by cooking red hots candy in with the pears. Remove them before serving. They add a spicy flavor that tastes great, but may be too intense for some.

This is one of my favorite A Game of Thrones recipes. It’s different, and has a nice kick to it.

    Some of our animations are AI generated from my recipe storyboard ideas. (Using Google Flow) I am trying to balance the use of AI in video making and the environment, so I contribute to the - https://www.arborday.org/ - Arbor Day Foundation to offset my environmental footprint. It's not a perfect world, or solution, but I'm trying to be very conscientious about how we use technology.  I NEVER USE AI for recipe creation! These are all tested  in the Cinema Chef kitchen!
