Steps

2 hours 45 mins

1

In a 4 quart pot, bring wine, juice and sugar to a boil. Then lower heat to a simmer. Add spices and zest.
2

Meanwhile, peel pears but leave stem. Slice small portion from bottom so pears can stand on their own.
3

Stand pears in wine. Cover. Simmer for about 30 mins but please be sure not to overcook pears. You want them to remain standing.
4

Once pears are done, remove pears from pot and chill in fridge for 2 hours.
5

Turn heat back up to make syrup. No more than 15 minutes. Remove from heat and place in fridge.
6

Remove pears and syrup from fridge and serve.
