Pears in Red Wine

Ingredients

6 Pears

750 ml Dry Red Wine

500 g Sour Cream

11 Cloves

50 g Powdered Sugar

2 Cinnamon Sticks

1 tsp Cornstarch

1 Vanilla Pod

Peel the pears, leaving the stems intact. Cut a small circle off the bottom to help the pears sit in the pan. Bring the wine to a boil with the sugar, cloves, vanilla, and cinnamon.

Place the pears in the bottom of the pan, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes, maintaining a gentle simmer. Check the wine level periodically to ensure the pears are completely covered.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked pears to a serving dish. Remove the cinnamon, cloves, and vanilla from the wine in the saucepan. Cool.

Dust with a little powdered sugar. Cover the pears with foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate. Serve with sour cream on the side.

Enjoy!
