Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ½ cups orange juice without pulp
½ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 whole pears, peeled and cored

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, mix together the orange juice, brown and white sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Place pears into the syrup, and cover; simmer pears for 1 hour and 15 minutes, spooning sauce over pears every 10 minutes, and turning pears over twice during cooking time.
