In a large saucepan add the red wine, sliced orange, sliced lemon, brown sugar, cinnamon stick, vanilla bean, and ginger piece. Stir and let it come up to a boil

Once the red wine is boiling, turn down to a simmer, peel the pears, cut about a 1/2 inch off the bottom (so they can sit upright), and add them to the mixture

Let them simmer for about 20 minutes, turning them every 5 minutes or so so that they cook evenly

In the meantime preheat your oven to 425 degrees F

Once the pears are cooked carefully remove and sit on a plate. Let the liquid continue to simmer another 15 minutes to reduce

While the liquid is simmering make the crumble by combining all of the ingredients in a bowl. Put on a parchment lined sheet tray and bake 6-8 minutes until slightly golden brown

Once the crumble is done and the liquid is reduced the final step is the whipped cream. In a bowl with an electric mixer add all of the ingredients and beat until fluffy, yet not stiff. One step below a whipped cream. Watch the video if you need help!

To plate add a big dollop of the whipped cream, nestle the poached pear in the middle, drizzle with the reduced liquid, and a good sprinkle of the almond crumble. Thats it! A fancy, yet amazingly delicious, dessert in about 30 minutes! Happy holidays!
