    Recipe



    Cooking
    1. Combine water, splenda, wine, lemon juice, and ginger in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

    2. Peel pears with a vegetables peeler, keeping stems intact. If you wish, remove cores from bottom of pears with a melon scoper.

    3. As you peel each pear, place it in the liquid. Simmer, uncovered, until pears are barely tender, 20 to 30 minutes, depending on ripeness of fruit. Turn pears occasionally during cooking.

    4. Lift out pears with a slotted spoon and place in a wide bowl. Simmer syrup until it is reduced to 1 cup.. Pour syrup over pears. Let stand until cool. Serve at room temperature or cover and refrigerate and serve cold.
