How to Make Poached Pears In Australian Shiraz
- In a medium saucepan, combine the Shiraz, sugar, and port. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the lemon zest and juice, ginger slices, and cinnamon stick. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
- Gently add the pear halves to the simmering wine mixture. Reduce heat to low, ensuring the pears are mostly submerged. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the pears are tender and bright red, turning occasionally.
- Carefully remove the pears from the poaching liquid using a slotted spoon. Set aside.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and boil the remaining poaching liquid, reducing it until it thickens into a syrupy consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
- Return the poached pears to the syrup. Allow to cool completely before serving. Serve warm or chilled, drizzled with extra syrup if desired.
