<p>Leave it to the French to drench a sexy, curvaceous fruit in a fragrant red wine bath and call it dessert. This melt-in-your-mouth sweet will leave you weak in the knees and begging for more. Aromatic baking spices, velvety red wine sauce, and succulent pears are excellent served hot or cold and have just the right balance of sweetness and acidity for a light dessert.</p>
