Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 very large firm ripe pears, stems on
1 bottle (750 milliliters) sweet Marsala
7 tablespoons cinnamon-sugar

Steps:

  • Peel pears using a vegetable peeler; leave stems attached.
  • Pour Marsala into a medium pot with a cover. Add 2 cups water and 6 tablespoons cinnamon-sugar. Put pears in pot and bring to a boil. Lower heat to medium and cover pot. Cook until tender, stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes depending on firmness of pears.
  • Remove cover and let pears and liquid cool to room temperature. Remove pears with a slotted spoon and put them upright in a bowl. Bring liquid in pot to a boil and cook over medium-high heat until reduced to 1 1/2 cups. Pour over pears and refrigerate until cold.
  • Serve pears with their syrup. Sprinkle with remaining cinnamon-sugar.
