Preparation

How to prepare Pears in Red Wine

To prepare the pears in red wine, start with the syrup: pour the wine 1, water 2, and sugar 3 into a saucepan (the ideal size for the pears to cook well is a diameter of 8 inches).

Then add all the spices 4 and turn on medium heat. Peel the pears leaving the stem 5 and add them to the pot 6. Let them cook on medium heat for at least 20 minutes.

Once the pears are cooked 7, remove them and set them aside 8. Let the syrup reduce on high heat for about 10 minutes 9.

When it is reduced and thick, put the pears back in the pot 10 with the heat off and let them get well covered in sauce 11. Serve the pears in red wine hot or warm 12.
