Method

Step 1 of 3

Place sugar, red wine, water and cinnamon into a large saucepan. Stir over a medium-high heat until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes until slightly reduced.

Step 2 of 3

Meanwhile, peel pears and remove the core of each pear from the bottom so the stem is kept intact (as per image shown).

Step 3 of 3

Lower pears into poaching liquid and simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until tender. Turn pears occasionally during cooking so they colour evenly.
