RED WINE POACHED PEARS

Ingredients:

4 firm-fleshed, barely ripe pears, peeled, quartered and cored
1 1/2 C red wine
3/4 C sugar
2 T lemon juice
2 t vanilla (or a vanilla bean, with seeds scraped into the pot)
1 cinnamon stick


Methodology:

Mix all ingredients but the pears together in a saucepan and bring to a boil.  Add pears and simmer for 10-12 minutes.

Flip pears and cook for a further 10 minutes.

Remove pears and set aside to cool.

In the meantime, reduce the liquid in the saucepan until it coats the back of a spoon.  Remove the vanilla bean (if used) and cinnamon stick.

Serve the pears over vanilla ice cream, with the remaining red wine sauce spooned over the top.
