Poached Pears In Wine Syrup

1. 1

   Place the wine, sugar, orange peel and juice, cinnamon, bay leaf and 1 cup water in a saucepan large enough to hold 6 upright pears. Stir on a low heat, until the sugar dissolves.

2. 2

   Increase the heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer gently for 5 mins. Lower the pears into the syrup; cover and simmer for 30 mins, turning several times. Remove from heat. Let stand in the syrup to cool.

3. 3

   Remove the pears from the syrup. Boil the syrup in the pan on medium heat until reduced and thickened. Strain syrup through a sieve. Place the pears in serving bowls and pour over the strained syrup. Garnish with bay leaves and serve with whipped cream, if desired.
