Pears in Italian Wine




Source of Recipe


internet


List of Ingredients




2 cups Italian fruity red wine
2 cups water
½ cup sugar
1 tsp. lemon zest
8 pears, peeled
lemon juice
whipped cream

Place the peeled pears in a large saucepan or Dutch oven. Combine the wine, water, sugar and lemon zest, and pour over pears. Bring to a simmer and cook covered for about 20 minutes, or until pears are tender.

With a large spoon or spatula, transfer pears to a baking dish or deep serving dish. Continue to simmer the liquid for 10 to 15 minutes more to reduce liquid to about 2 cups. Add lemon juice to taste while syrup is simmering. When tart to taste, pour syrup over pears. Refrigerate overnight, turning pears occasionally to coat them with the syrup.

To serve, cut pears in half lengthwise. Spoon out cores. Place on desert dishes, spoon syrup over each, and dollop with whipped cream.

Serves 16
