Equipment

  • 1 Large Pan
  • 1 Fruit knife
  • 1 Fork
  • 1 Spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 1 l Good Red Wine In our region, we use Red Verde wine, Vinhão Caste.
  • 15-20 Rocha Pears They should be of the same size and similarly ripe
  • 500 g Sugar It can be white or yellow
  • 1/2 Lemon peel
  • 3-4 cinnamon sticks

Instructions
 

  • Peel the pears, but keep them whole with the stem attached.
  • In a pot, combine the wine, sugar, lemon peel, and cinnamon sticks. Stir everything until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  • Place the pears in the pot, standing upright and side by side. They should be covered with wine.
  • Turn the stove to high heat, and when the wine begins to boil, cover the pot. Let the pears cook on high heat until tender.
  • Once the pears are cooked, remove them from the pot. To check if they're done, insert a fork—it should go in easily.
  • Let the wine thicken slightly, keeping the stove on high heat.
  • Place the pears in a deep, elegant serving dish. Pour all the wine over them, ensuring they are well-soaked.
