How to Make Apples And Pears Poached In Red Wine

  1. Peel, core, and slice 2 large ripe pears and 2 large ripe apples into 1-inch thick slices.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the fruit slices with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cinnamon stick, 1 cup dry red wine, and 1/4 cup dessert wine.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  4. Reduce heat to low, and simmer gently for 10 minutes, allowing the fruit to soften slightly.
  5. Add 1 cup pitted plums (halved if large) to the saucepan. Continue to simmer for another 5-7 minutes, or until the plums are tender.
  6. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Cover and let the fruit marinate in the wine sauce for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, in the refrigerator.
  7. Serve warm or at room temperature, topped with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
