2 cups water
1 tbsp. lemon juice
6 medium-size, ripe, firm pears
2 cups dry red wine
1/2 cup sugar
1 small cinnamon stick
1 strip lemon rind (2 x 2 1/2 inches long)
2 tbsp. cognac
Nonfat vanilla yogurt or light sour cream (optional, for serving)
Combine 2 cups water and lemon juice in large bowl. Peel pears and immerse in liquid.
Bring wine, sugar, cinnamon stick and rind to a boil in saucepan. Add drained pears and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, turning pears every 5 minutes, just until tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
