Time 8h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 slightly under-ripe pears
1 cup orange juice
1 to 2 tablespoons mulling spices (recommended: Morton and Bassett)
1 (750-ml) bottle Chianti (recommended: Classico)
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 pint vanilla ice cream, softened in the refrigerator for 1 hour
1 tablespoon grenadine
2 tablespoons heavy cream, if needed

Steps:

  • For the pears: Use a vegetable peeler to peel pears. Cut in half and use a melon baller to remove core. Place in 4 to 5-quart slow cooker.
  • Add orange juice and mulling spices.
  • Stir together wine and brown sugar. Pour over pears. If wine does not cover pears completely, add enough water or orange juice to cover.
  • Cover slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours, or until pears are fork-tender.
  • For the Chantilly ice cream: Place ice cream in blender with grenadine. Blend to combine. If ice cream has not softened enough to blend, add 1 to 2 tablespoons heavy cream.
