Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 5-6 cups red wine (, see note 1)
- 1 cup soft brown sugar (, see note 2)
- 6 pears (, see note 3 & 4)
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 whole star anise
- 5 cloves
- 4 all-spice berries
- fresh ginger (, about 4 thin slices)
Instruction
- Turn on the slow cooker on low. Add wine and sugar. Stir well to help the sugar dissolve.
- Peel and core the pears. Remove any hard parts but you can leave the stems on if you like. Place the pears in your slow cooker and add the rest of the ingredients: cinnamon, star anise, cloves, all-spice berries and ginger. Stir.
- Cover with a lid and cook on low for 2-3 hours or until the pears are to your liking.
- When ready, take out the pears and serve them warm (or cold if preferred) with ice cream or chocolate sauce.
- Strain the spices and enjoy mulled wine right away or let it cool and store in a jug, covered until ready to serve (it will keep for up to 3-4 days when stored properly).
