Pears Al Vino Bianco is a classic Italian dessert that is perfect for any occasion, especially when pears are in season. The dish features bosc or Anjou pears that are poached in a mixture of dry white wine, sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla bean. The pears are tender, flavorful, and infused with the taste of white wine, making for a sweet and tangy dessert. You can add a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream to the dessert to make it even more indulgent. If you are looking for an elegant and easy dessert recipe to try, then this one is definitely worth considering.

Instructions

1.	In a large saucepan, combine the wine, water, sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla bean and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
2.	Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3.	While the mixture is simmering, peel the pears and slice off the bottoms so that they can stand upright.
4.	Add the pears to the saucepan and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the pears are tender but still hold their shape.
5.	Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the pears cool to room temperature before serving.
