Time 45m

Yield 6 pear halves

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 pears, about 1/2 pound each
2 cups dry red wine
4 whole cloves
Peel of one lemon, yellow part only
1/2 cup brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • Peel the pears and cut each crosswise in half. Cut or scoop out the center core.
  • Place the pears, one at a time, cut side down on a flat surface. Using a small paring knife, cut each half into a fan shape, slicing down, left to right, at quarter-inch intervals, almost but not quite up to the stem end. Leave the stem end intact.
  • Arrange the pear halves cut side down on a baking dish in which they will fit in one layer.
  • Combine the wine, cloves, lemon rind and brown sugar in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Let simmer 5 minutes. Pour this over the pears.
  • Baste the pears and cover closely with aluminum foil. Punch a few holes in the foil to allow steam to escape. Place in the oven and bake 25 minutes.
  • Carefully remove the pears to a dish, taking care not to break the slices. Pour the liquid into a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce over moderately high heat to about 3/4 cup. Pour this over the pears. When ready to serve, flatten the pears slightly and gently to make a fan pattern.
