These were just lovely! I didn't have any Tawny port, so I had to use sweeter Ruby port instead. Loved the flavors in this, thanks for posting! Made for The Honeys for ZWT8

Fantastic! I've just recently started eating poached pears and loved this recipe. It smelled great while cooking and tasted delish. Thanks Rita for a great keeper. Made for ZWT8 - Australia.
