Drunken pears

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Peel the pears, leaving the stems. Trim off some of the flesh at the base to make the pears more stable.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour the wine into a large saucepan, add sugar, cinnamon, cloves, orange juice and zest. Heat over low heat until the sugar is completely dissolved.

3. STEP 3

   

   Carefully place the pears in the pan and bring to a boil. Cover with a lid, reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, until soft. Divide the pears among plates and serve with ice cream. You can pour the syrup in which the pears were cooked.
