Ingredients

  • 8 ripe pears
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • Zest and juice of 1 orange
  • 1 cup Riesling or other sweet white wine
  • 6 peppercorns
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1/2 cup sugar

  3. Place the rest of the ingredients in a saucepan on medium heat.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. To reduce the liquid a bit, cook on high heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally so it doesnt boil over.
  6. Pour the spiced wine over the pears and bake until the pears can be pierced easily with a sharp knife, 30 to 40 minutes.
  7. Baste once or twice, using tongs to lift a pear if necessary to get to the basting liquid.
  8. Serve at room temperature with the wine sauce drizzled over the pears.
