PEARS IN PORT WINE
Steps:
- Peel the pears, but leave them whole. With the stem end intact, cut off a thin slice at the bottom so that the pears can stand upright.
- In a nonreactive saucepan, bring the port, sugar, and 2 cups water to a boil.
- Place the whole pears in the liquid, lower the heat, and simmer, uncovered, for about 35 minutes, turning the pears occasionally, until they are tender.
- Remove the pears with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool.
- Increase the heat under the saucepan and reduce the liquid by half by boiling vigorously for 20 minutes to a medium-thick syrup. Add the Cointreau and vanilla.
- Place the pears upright in a serving dish and spoon the reduced syrup over them. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
