Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon whole allspice berries
- 1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)
- 4 cups dry red wine
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 firm-ripe pears such as Bosc
- pastry dough for a single crust 9-inch pie
- an egg wash made by beating 1 large egg yolk with 1 teaspoon water
Instructions
- In a 3-quart saucepan combine all poached pear ingredients except pears and boil, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Peel pears and simmer in wine mixture, covered, turning occasionally, until firm-tender, about 20 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let stand, covered, turning pears occasionally for even color, about 30 minutes. Discard poaching mixture and halve pears lengthwise. Remove stems and with a melon-baller cutter or small knife remove core. Cut pears lengthwise into 3/4-inch-thick slices.
- Roll out dough 1/8 inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Fit dough into a 9-inch (1-quart capacity) pie plate and trim edge, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Cut edge of dough with scissors every 1/2 inch to form curved points and brush edge lightly with egg wash. Chill shell 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 °F.
