How to Make Dutch Stewed Cinnamon Pears Stoofpeertjes
- Peel the pears and core them using a melon baller or small knife. Leave the pears whole.
- Stud the lemon zest with the cloves using a toothpick or small knife.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the pears, lemon zest with cloves, cinnamon sticks, and sugar.
- Pour in the red wine and orange liqueur (if using).
- Add enough water to just cover the pears.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 2.5 hours, or until the pears are very tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Carefully remove the pears from the saucepan. Serve warm or cold. If serving warm, spoon some of the cooking liquid over the pears.
- Serve the pears on plates, topped with a scoop of cinnamon ice cream and a dollop of thick whipped cream (optional).
