Pears in Red Wine - an elegant dessert


I have a love affair with pears.  They offer elegant flavours and textures but also look beautiful.

Pears in Red Wine

6 large brown pears
150 grams / 5oz - sugar
cinnamon stick
orange and lemon rind

250 ml / 1 cup good quality red wine

Method

Wash the pears and core, leaving on the stem
Place upright in a baking dish into which they fit tightly
Sprinkle with sugar, add cinnamon and the orange and lemon rinds and pour over the wine
Bake in 190 degrees C (375 degrees F) oven until the wine has almost evaporated. Baste during the baking.
Serve with indulgent yoghurt.
