Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Water
1 Vanilla bean
2 quarts Champagne
4 To 6 pears, peeled

Directions

In a sauce pot combine the sugar and water together and boil for 2 to 3 minutes thus creating a simple syrup. Split the vanilla bean in half, scraping the inside to remove the pulp. Add the champagne and vanilla to the simple syrup. Bring to a simmer and add the pears.

Poach until tender-- about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove and cool.
