How to Make Soothing Juniper And Mulled Pears
- Peel, core, and quarter 4 ripe but firm pears.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 750ml dry red wine, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup pineapple juice, 1 tablespoon crushed juniper berries, 1 cinnamon stick, 2 star anise, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (optional) and orange zest from 1/2 orange (optional).
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the quartered pears to the saucepan.
- Reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until the pears are tender and the liquid has slightly reduced, stirring and basting the pears with the wine mixture occasionally.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm in small bowls or red wine glasses. Garnish with an extra juniper berry and a cinnamon stick if desired.
