Now that the days of summer have all but disappeared into the distance, it's time to shift gears and focus on the fall. Cooler temperatures, the beginning of football season (although, I am still heavily invested in baseball season right now), and the preparation of comforting dishes that are full of fall flavors. It's the time when
dishes featuring pumpkin and butternut squash can be found on practically every menu. And it's the time when at least one dessert showcases the pear.

Poaching pears is a popular way to prepare the seasonal fruit because of the endless possibilities of poaching liquids, the ease in creating an accompanying sauce, and the inherent, simple elegance of the final presentation.
