It certainly makes my life better.
We have so much sauce left over, though; and after tomorrow, it’s back on the Low Carb wagon for us. So, we’ll have lots to freeze for the future.
Someone sent us a big box of pears for Christmas, so we’re going to try poached pears for the first time tomorrow. The classic way of doing them seems to be with white wine, but we’re going to use this Martha recipe, and poach them in apple cider and spices:

Sounds like you might have enough pears to also try a spiced red wine for the poached pears.
Have had both, I favor the spiced red. Plenty of recipes to choose from. IIRC, Martha Stewarts was very good, but there are others.
Enjoy!
