| Serves 4| Hands-On Time: 15m| Total Time: 55m Ingredients | |
| 1/2 bottle (1 1/2 cups) | red wine |
| 1 | lemon |
| 1 | navel orange, quartered |
| 3/4 cup | sugar |
| 1/2 | vanilla bean, split, or 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract |
| 1 | cinnamon stick |
| 5 | cloves |
| 4 small | ripe pears, (any variety), peeled |
Directions
In a small saucepan, off the heat, combine the wine, the juice from the lemon and orange, 1 of the squeezed orange quarters, the sugar, vanilla, cinnamon stick, and cloves.
Add the pears and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, turning the pears occasionally, until they're easily pierced with the tip of a knife, about 25 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pears to individual plates.
Remove and discard the orange quarter and spices. Return the liquid to a simmer and cook until syrupy and reduced by two-thirds, about 15 minutes, depending on size of pan. Spoon the sauce over the pears.
