Pears Poached in Red Wine

1. 1

   In a pot or saucepan of a size to just contain the pears, combine the cinnamon, sugar, and red wine.

2. 2

   Arrange the pears, adding more wine to cover, if necessary.

3. 3

   Bring to a boil, and adjust the heat to a simmer, lid ajar.

4. 4

   Cook for about 20 minutes, or until a skewer encounters little resistance when pierced to the heart of a pear.

5. 5

   With a slotted spoon, remove the pears from their liquid and stand them upright, in a glass dish.

6. 6

   Simmer the red wine until reduced to the consistency of a light syrup--and pour it over the pears.

7. 7

   Serve at room temperature or chilled.
