Red Wine Poached Pears Ingredients:
– 6 conference pears
– 1 bottle Ménage à Trois Wines Lavish
– 2 cups water
– 3 whole cloves
– 2 cinnamon sticks
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1 vanilla bean
– ½ cup walnuts

Red Wine Poached Pears Directions:
1. Preparation: Cut off a small portion of the bottom of each pear so it can sit upright. Peel the skin from each pear and then set aside.
2. Cook: Set a large pot over medium heat and add Ménage à Trois Wines Lavish, water, cloves, cinnamon, and sugar. Split the vanilla bean down the middle, scrape the seeds into the pot, and then throw the whole bean in as well. Add the pears, making sure they’re mostly covered by the wine. Put the lid on the pot, and let gently simmer for 20 minutes or until pears are soft.
3. Serve: Serve warm and fresh. Add walnuts. Store leftovers in the wine juice for up to two weeks in the fridge.
