| Instructions: |
| 1. |
Peel the pears carefully, leaving stems intact. Cut the bottoms off to make a stable base. |
| 2. |
Combine wine, sugar, and zest in a saucepan large enough to fit the pears. Break the cinnamon stick, and scrape the vanilla bean into the saucepan. Tie cloves and peppercorns in a cheesecloth and add to the saucepan. |
| 3. |
Bring wine to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until sugar is dissolved. |
| 4. |
Add pears, cover, and poach over low heat, turning to coat, for 20 minutes. (Liquid should cover pears.) |
| 5. |
Remove from heat and cool pears in the syrup for at least 3 hours. |
| 6. |
Strain syrup. In a saucepan, simmer syrup to thicken. Serve pears with sauce. |
