Ingredients
- 6 Pears with stems, peeled, halved and cored
- 2 c Red Wine

Put everything except the pears into a wide pan and bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
Add the pears and bring back to the boil.
Cover and simmer 1 hour or until the pears are very soft, basting occasionally.
Uncover, remove the pears and place on a serving dish, place the liquid back on the heat and boil to reduce until slightly syrupy.
