17 Desserts That Make Your Home Smell Like the Holidays

“The pears are poached in a red wine sauce made with cabernet sauvignon, orange juice and peel, honey, and warm spices like cinnamon, cloves, and black peppercorns. I prefer it because it is full-bodied with a deep, complex flavor profile, and it results in a sauce that is rich and flavorful. If you do not like cabernet sauvignon, then use any full-bodied red wine you like to drink, like zinfandel, syrah, and merlot.” —Hannah Zimmerman, Recipe Developer
