Instructions
- Prep: Cut a small portion off the bottom of 4 to 6 conference pears (or as many as will fit in your pot) so they can sit upright. Peel the skin from each, then set aside.
- Cook: Set a large pot over medium heat and stir together 1 bottle dry red wine, 1 cup water, 4 whole cloves, 2 cinnamon sticks, and ½ cup brown sugar. Add the pears, making sure they’re mostly covered by the wine (if they're not, add water as needed until they're covered). Cover and let gently simmer for 20 minutes until pears are soft. These can gently simmer for up to an hour, depending on the firmness of your pears.
- Serve: Serve warm and fresh, or store leftovers in the wine juice in the fridge for up to two weeks.
