Dutch Poached Pears

• servings: 4 servings
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

6 Pear

1 bottle Red Wine

2 cup Water

3 Whole Clove

2 Cinnamon Stick

1/2 cup Brown Sugar

1 Vanilla Bean Pod

Directions

Cut a small portion of the bottom of each Pear (6) off so they can sit upright. Peel the skin from each, then set aside.

Set a large pot over medium heat and add the Red Wine (1 bottle), Water (2 cups), Whole Clove (3), Cinnamon Stick (2), and Brown Sugar (1/2 cup). Split the Vanilla Bean Pod (1) down the middle, scrape the seeds into the pot, then throw the whole bean in as well.

Add the pears, making sure they’re mostly covered by the wine, then cover and let gently simmer for 20 minutes, or until pears are soft.

Serve warm and fresh, or store leftovers in the wine juice in the fridge for up to two weeks. Enjoy!
