Pear Pressure: The Boozy Dessert Topping That’s Way Too Fancy for Its Own Good
Meet the topping that shows up classy… and leaves slightly tipsy. Juicy pears take a luxurious soak in wine until they’re soft, sweet, and just bold enough to make your vanilla ice cream feel underdressed. It’s the kind of recipe that says, “I have my life together,” while quietly whispering, “and yes, I added extra wine.” Drizzle it over cheesecake, pancakes, or eat it straight from the spoon—we won’t judge, but the pears might.

- 2/3 Cups Shiraz Wine

Directions:
- Add all ingredients together, including Third Coast’s Honey Chipotle Pepper Glaze, and bring to a rolling boil.
