This is a recipe that my cousin Linda served at one of the family gatherings. She served this over homemade vanilla ice cream and we all loved it. Enjoy Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups dry red wine |
1/2 cup granulated sugar |
4 whole allspice berries |
2” cinnamon stick |
2” vanilla bean |
1 small bay leaf |
4 large firm ripe pears unpeeled washed and dried |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Choose a baking dish large enough to hold pears in one layer.
3. Add wine, sugar, allspice, cinnamon stick, vanilla bean and bay leaf to baking dish.
4. Stir just until sugar is partially dissolved.
5. Cut a thin slice from bottom of pears so that they will stand upright.

7. Place pears in oven and bake until syrup begins to boil and thicken about 50 minutes.
