Poached Pears
Recipe By : Elizabeth Powell
Serving Size : 6

2 sticks cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon whole cloves
1/2 teaspoon allspice berries
1 quart dry white wine
1 1/2 cups sugar
6 pears

Tie spices loosely in a cheesecloth bag. Add to wine and sugar in a large kettle. Bring just to boiling, turn heat to low, and simmer 5-10 minutes. Peel, core, and halve pears and place in simmering wine mixture. Simmer 10 minutes, remove from heat. Allow to steep in wine at least 20 minutes. May be served warm or chilled.

NOTES : For a non-alcoholic version, use unsweetened sparkling cider in place of wine.
