<< Two questions regarding Pears in Wine Sauce -
1) I've been served this SO many times at feasts. Is it documentable?

There is a Pears in Wine Syrup recipe in _Traveling Dysshes_. The recipe in
question is taken from Harleian MS 279.10, Fifteenth Century England and
France.
I believe that this is part of _Two Fifteenth Century Cookery Books_. So at
least one recipe for Pears served in a wine syrup or sauce is documentable to
the fifteenth century.
By the way, in this book (Traveling Dysshes) there is a variation using
canned pears. This eliminates having to poach the pears. But you still have
to keep the syrup on the stove for a while to simmer it down.
