6 Servings
Ingredients
Quantity | Ingredient | |
---|---|---|
2 | cups | Dry white wine |
2 | cups | Water |
½ | cup | Sugar |
¼ | cup | Lemon juice |
4 | (2-inch) strips lemon peel | |
1 | Stick cinnamon; 3-inches long | |
6 | Firm Bartlett or Anjou pears |
Directions
In 9-inch saucepan place wine, water, sugar, lemon peel & cinnamon stick.
Bring to boil over moderate heat & simmer, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves. Meanwhile, peel pears and, leaving stem end intact, scoop out core from the blossom end with a knife. Sprinkle pears with lemon juice to keep them from turning brown. When pears are peeled & coated with lemon juice, add remaining lemon juice to sugar syrup & place pears in syrup, stem end up. Simmer pears uncovered 1 hour or until tender, turning them from side to side 5 or 6 times, but always leaving the stems up. When pears are tender, spoon them into a serving dish, strain the syrup over them & chill in refrigerator for several hours before serving. Makes 6 servings.
