Time 1h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups unsweetened pomegranate juice
1 cup orange juice
½ cup vanilla rum
½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
2 cinnamon sticks
1 teaspoon whole cloves
4 large firm pears
⅓ cup white sugar

Steps:

  • Combine pomegranate juice, orange juice, rum, 1/2 cup white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, and cloves in a large pot; simmer until sugar is completely dissolved, about 10 minutes.
  • Peel pears, leaving stem intact. Slice 1/4 inch off the bottom for pears to stand securely.
  • Place pears gently in the pot and cover. Simmer for 30 minutes, basting pears every 5 to 10 minutes. Remove pot from heat and let stand for 30 minutes, continuing to baste occasionally. Remove pears from pot and set aside.
  • Strain spices from poaching liquid and add 1/3 cup sugar. Return to a low boil and reduce until sauce is thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Ladle sauce over pears to serve.
