🍐 Pears poached in spiced wine
Ingredients
- 4 firm pears
- 500 ml red wine
- 80 g sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 star anise, 3 cloves
- 1 strip of orange zest
Method
- Peel the pears keeping the stalk, and slice the base flat so they stand up.
- Bring the wine to a simmer with the sugar, spices and orange zest.
- Slide in the pears: they must be submerged, top up with water if needed.
- Poach 25 to 30 min over low heat, turning them halfway for an even colour.
- Lift out the pears and reduce the syrup by half over high heat.
- Serve warm or cold, coated in syrup.
