Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 5 Small Pears
  • 1 1/4 cup Holland House Marsala Cooking Wine
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 1/3 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1 Cinnamon Stick
  • a dash of Ground Clove

Instruction

  • Slice the bottom off the pear so that they will stand upright. Then peel the pears.
  • Combine the Holland House Marsala Cooking Wine, lemon juice, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and ground clove in a pot bit and tall enough to fit all of the pears. Whisk together and bring to a simmer. Then add the pears. Cover and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the pears are soft.
  • Then remove the pears from the pot, and let the remaining marsala wine sauce reduce until it becomes thick and syrupy. This will take about 5 minutes, keep a close eye on the sauce as it reduces and stir frequently.
  • Serve the pears with the Marsala wine sauce drizzled over the top.
