Are you exhausted from all the holiday cooking you have been doing? It’s time to find recipes that supply all the glitz without the hard work in the kitchen. Here’s a recipe I rely on during the holidays for its deliciousness and rustic appearance.

The wrinkly pears are unpeeled, a plus for the Seriously Simple cook, and dressed with the rich red glaze that adds a bit of sparkle to a holiday dessert. You can make this in the morning and leave at room temperature until ready to serve. I like to serve these on a rectangular platter garnished with optional cranberries or pomegranate seeds and some fresh mint leaves for a touch of greenery.
