List of Ingredients




 2 cups dry white wine
 3/4 cup sugar
 2-inch knob fresh ginger, unpeeled
 2 cinnamon sticks, each about 3 inches long
 4 whole cloves
 4 pears



Recipe



1. In a saucepan just large enough to hold the pears upright and with a cover, combine the 2 cups white wine, 2 cups water, 3/4 cup sugar, 2 cinnamon sticks, and the 4 whole cloves. Slice the ginger into thin rounds and add to the pan with the 4 pears, standing them upright. Cover the pan and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.

2. Reduce the heat to medium-low and partially uncover the pan. Simmer gently for 10 to 15 minutes, turning the pears occasionally in the syrup, until the pears are fork-tender.

3. Serve the pears warm with the syrup spooned over the top, or let the pears cool in the syrup and serve them at room temperature.
