Pears on a Pizza?

Red Wine, Pear, and Gorgonzola Pizza

Odd combination but insanely delicious.  The part that really makes this pizza rock is the red wine reduction.  You can also make a balsamic reduction for other pizzas (when wine or vinegar are reduced they take on a natural sweetness in a syrupy form).  Unfortunately, this is not a pizza you make in a hurry, the pear poaching and reduction sauce take time (especially when you have to make it twice).  When making a reduction sauce be sure to watch it and stir frequent until it reaches a syrup consistency.  If you don't you'll end up with a sticky mess burnt to the bottom of your pan.  This pizza goes best on your favorite flatbread style dough recipe.

About Little Murph

Liverpool, NY, United States
My love for cooking started when I could barely reach the countertops. My mom would get out all of the baking supplies and let me create. Needless to say, my cooking techniques have become a bit more sophisticated. I believe that I can recreate anything I see in a restaraunt or cookbook. For this reason, my husband has said that I have "ruined eating out for him". I also believe that anyone can cook a delicious meal at home, gourmet kitchen or not. I'm a working woman but I find that after a long day at work, my kitchen is my sanctuary and I'm never too tired to cook up something new. I get bored very easily so trying new things is always a must! I think that cooking has become such an important part of my life because I love making others happy and I'm able to do that through my food. Thank you to all of my family and friends for all of your love and support, especially my husband Shawn, you are the reasons why I cook!
