How to Make Braised Pears In Red Wine
- Cut a thin, level horizontal slice from the bottom of each pear so they stand upright easily.
- In a medium stockpot, combine 1 bottle (750ml) California Cabernet Sauvignon, 1 cup water, ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 2 cinnamon sticks.
- Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Carefully stand the pears upright in the pot.
- Return the pot to the burner and bring to a brisk simmer over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 1 to 1 ½ hours, basting the pears with the liquid occasionally, until they are very tender but not falling apart.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pears to individual serving plates.
- Meanwhile, boil the cooking liquid over high heat until syrupy and reduced to about ½ cup.
- Remove and discard the cinnamon sticks.
- Spoon the syrup evenly over the pears.
- Let cool to room temperature. Serve at room temperature or chill for 1-24 hours before serving.
