SPICED RED WINE POACHED PEARS
As elegant as they are delicious, poached pears are a splendid finish to dinners dressy or plain. Here, the poaching syrup is red wine, honey and good cold-weather spices: cloves, cinnamon and star anise. Look for pears that are ripe but still firm, and if you can, choose pears that have stems - they make for a more attractive dish. You can serve the pears soon after they're made or you can cover and refrigerate them in their syrup and serve them chilled or at room temperature. They're good on their own or alongside whipped cream or crème fraîche.

Steps:
- Halve the lemon, and remove 3 wide strips of rind. Peel the pears, leaving a topknot of skin and the stem, if it's attached; rub with the cut lemon. Working from the bottom, core the pears.
- Choose a pot that will hold the pears snugly. Cut a circle of parchment paper to fit inside the pot. Cut 4 slices from the lemon and put them, the strips of zest and all the other ingredients - except the pears - into the pot. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and add the pears, tops up - it's O.K. if they're not fully submerged. Cover with the paper circle and the pot's lid.
- Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes - the pears should still be slightly firm but easily pierced with the tip of a knife; transfer them to a bowl. Boil the syrup for 5 minutes, pour over the fruit and discard the spices. Serve slightly warm, at room temperature or chilled, with or without cream.

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Thinly peel the pears, making sure to keep the stem intact. Slightly slice the bottom of the pears so they will stand up in the pan and when serving.
- In a large and tall saucepan, stir together the white wine , water, cinnamon stick, vanilla bean, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat.
- Once the liquid is simmering, add the prepared pears and place them standing on the pan. The liquid should cover most of the pears' height.
- Poach the pears, uncovered, for 7 to 9 minutes until their meat is slightly tender, but they are still firm enough to hold their shape. Watch this process carefully as you do not want the pears to overcook or they will collapse.
- Remove the pears from the poaching liquor with a slotted spoon and place them on individual serving plates.
- Return the poaching liquid to a simmer. Add the sugar and allow the mixture to reduce in volume by half or about 6 to 8 minutes. The syrup is ready when it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove the cinnamon stick and vanilla bean from the syrup and strain the liquid through a fine sieve.
- Drizzle each pear with the wine syrup and add any other topping that you'd like.

SPICED WINE POACHED PEARS
This is a spiced version of the classic red wine poached pears. The remaining sauce is wonderful served over french toast the next morning, which my husband insists on every time we have these. Times listed do not include cooling time (I recommend at least 2 hours).

Steps:
- Peel the pears and put in a medium bowl with the lemon juice and enough water to cover to prevent browning.
- In a large heavy saucepan, combine the water, sugar, anise, cloves, and cinnamon stick.
- Stir the sugar mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the wine, port, ginger, and about 2/3 of the orange zest (the remainder will be used for garnish). Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer.
- Add the pears. Place the lid on the pot so that steam can escape and simmer until the pears are tender when pierced with a toothpick. This will take about 25 minutes. Make sure that you turn the pears so that all sides are evenly cooked.
- Remove the pears from the cooking liquid with a slotted spoon. Transfer them to a plate, cover with plastic wrap, cool in the refrigerator about 2 hours.
- Pour the cooking liquid through a sieve to remove the cloves, zest, and other particulate. Return to sauce pan. At this point you can refrigerate the liquid if you plan on serving it within a day or 2.
- To reduce the sauce, simmer until desired consistency is achieved (about 30 minutes to my taste). Taste as you are cooking it to adjust sweetness to your taste (I don't like things that sweet, so the sauce is tart when made according to the recipe).
- Serve each pear with a little sauce drizzled over and sprinkle with remaining zest. Mint & dark chocolate also make good garnishes.

Steps:
- Halve the vanilla pod lengthways, scrape out the black seeds and put in a large saucepan with the wine, sugar, cinnamon and thyme. Cut each piece of pod into three long thin strips, add to pan, then lower in the pears.
- Poach the pears, covered, for 20-30 mins, making sure they are covered in the wine. The cooking time will very much depend on the ripeness of your pears - they should be tender all the way through when pierced with a cocktail stick. You can make these up to 2 days ahead and chill.
- Take the pears from the pan, then boil the liquid to reduce it by half so that it's syrupy. Serve each pear with the cooled syrup, a strip of vanilla, a piece of cinnamon and a small thyme sprig.

PEARS POACHED IN SPICED WINE
"I love the rich garnet color that the pears take on after they've been poached in this fragrant spiced wine syrup," writes Laura Frankel in "Jewish Cooking for All Seasons." For the wine to use in poaching, Frankel suggests a kosher merlot by Baron Herzog.
