Balsamic Poached Pears

This sauce is really good, sweet and sour.
I use these pears to top grilled pork chops.
The recipe transforms thin supermarket pork chops
into an unforgettable experience.
Pears can be prepared ahead of grilling time.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 Vidalia onions, each cut into 8 wedges
2 pears, cored and each cut into 8 wedges
1 teaspoon salt

Directions:
Pour the balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan.
Bring to a boil, and cook until reduced by 1/2, about 10 minutes.
When the vinegar cools, it should be the consistency of syrup.
Melt butter with olive oil in a large skillet over
medium-high or high heat. Add the onions and pears,
and quickly brown being careful to keep the wedges intact.
Once the onions and pears are browned, reduce heat to low,
and cook for about 7 minutes, or until tender.
Stir in the reduced vinegar and salt.
