Pears in Wine

Состав / Ингредиенты:

• Pears (large) 4 Pieces
• Red wine 750 Milliliters
• Cinnamon stick 1 Piece
• Vanilla stick 1/2 Piece
• Sugar 300 Grams

	Pour enough wine into a pot to completely cover the pears. Set over medium heat.
	Add spices - sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla.
	Bring to a boil and let it simmer a bit for the wine mixture to thicken slightly.
	Meanwhile, peel the pears. Leave the stems intact.
	Reduce the heat to minimum and carefully place the pears into the wine. The heat should be minimal. Cook the pears in wine for 2 hours, however, the time may vary depending on the wine's temperature. Therefore, check after one hour to see how soft the pears have become. They should be tender but not falling apart.
	Remove the pears from the wine and carefully cut off the bottom part.
	This is necessary for a nice presentation so that the pears can stand on a flat surface.
	The leftover wine can be used to make a sauce - continue to boil it until it thickens.
	Pears in wine can be served as a dessert (with berries, chocolate, or ice cream), or as a side dish or appetizer. Enjoy!
