Preparation

1. Peel and core the pears but leave their stems intact.
2. Put them in a heavy casserole large enough to hold them comfortably, stems up. Pour in the wine and enough water to come up to the top of the pears. Add the sugar and cinnamon.
3. Simmer, uncovered, for about three hours, or until the liquid has reduced to a glaze. If the syrup is too liquid but the pears are cooked, remove them to a serving dish. Boil the liquid down until it is thick enough to coat the spoon. Pour over the pears and allow them to cool at room temperature.
