I love poached pears
Pears in dessert wine

Pears in red wine
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
6 pears (Bosc, if available)
1/3 cup sugar
2 cups red wine
1 1/4 cups water
1 cinnamon stick
1. Peel and core pears.
2. Put sugar, wine, water and cinnamon stick in a pan and cook over medium heat. When mixture starts to boil, add the pears and simmer until the pears become soft (about 5 to 10 minutes).
3. Remove softened pears from the liquid and place on serving dishes.
4. Let the liquid cook down, over medium heat, stirring frequently. The longer it cooks down, the sweeter the sauce. (You can remove cinnamon stick if you aren't wild about cinnamon.)
5. Pour over the pears. Can be served warm or cooled in fridge.

Oh, I haven't tried these... I am going to make them though. I love poached pears. Pears are such a nice fall dessert.
The pear cake looked really delicious.
