Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 625 ml full-bodied red wine; 125 ml port wine; 1 cinnamon stick; 3 cloves; 1 pinch ground nutmeg; 2 pieces thin orange zest; 2 tablespoons red currant jelly; 200 g brown sugar; 6 pears; 150 ml clotted cream or 150 ml creme fraiche

Servings: persons

1
Preheat the oven to 150u00b0C/gas
2
Put all the ingredients except the pears and cream into a heatproof casserole with a close-fitting lid. Bring to a simmer. Meanwhile, peel the pears, leaving the stalks intact, and add to the poaching liquid. Cover, and then put in the oven for 11/2-2 hours depending on the ripeness and size of the pears. (If making ahead, leave to cool, then chill for 1-2 days.)
3
To serve, remove the pears to a serving plate, place the casserole back on the heat, and reduce the liquid until it reaches a syrupy consistency,(you can add some arrowroot at this stage if desired). Strain it over the pears, which should now look glossy and red.
4
Serve with the clotted cream or the orange zest flavoured Creme Fraiche.
