How to prepare this wine pear recipe

  1. Wash the pears thoroughly as we'll use the skin. Peel the pears from the stem to the base, leaving the stem intact. Do not discard the skin.

  2. Place the pears flat in a large enough saucepan together with the peeled skin, the red wine, the sugar, and the cinnamon sticks.

  3. Bring the wine to a boil over medium-low heat, and continue cooking the pears. After 15-20 minutes turn them over carefully with two wooden spoons.

  4. After cooking them for 15-20 more minutes, the pears should be tender. Turn off heat.

  5. Put some caramel syrup in large dessert dishes, and place 2 whole pears in each one. Pour the rest of the syrup over the pears. You can also serve this pear recipe with almond or cinnamon ice cream
