Chardwardon

Pears in Red Wine Sauce

• 6 ripe but firm pears, cored, peeled & quartered

• 1/2 C sugar

• 1-1/2 C burgundy wine

• 1 tsp. cinnamon

• 1/2 tsp ginger

Add pears and burgundy wine to a large cooking pot; bring mixture to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, until pears are soft (about ninety minutes). Using a slotted spoon, remove pears to a separate bowl. Mash pears and return to cooking pot with wine. Add the sugar and spices, mixing well. Simmer until quantity has nearly halved. Allow mixture to cool before serving.
