Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°. Place the pears in a baking dish that will comfortably hold them in an upright position.
Step 2
Place the rest of the ingredients in a saucepan on medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil. To reduce the liquid a bit, cook on high heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally so it doesn’t boil over. Pour the spiced wine over the pears and bake until the pears can be pierced easily with a sharp knife, 30 to 40 minutes. Baste once or twice, using tongs to lift a pear if necessary to get to the basting liquid.
Step 3
Serve at room temperature with the wine sauce drizzled over the pears.
