Steps:
- Cut bottom off each pear and core from the bottom to give each pear a flat bottom to stand upright.
- Combine wine, water, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and star anise in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and arrange pears on their sides in the saucepan. Simmer pears for 10 to 12 minutes. Turn pears and continue simmering until tender and easily poked with a fork, 8 to 10 minutes. Work in batches if needed.
- Remove pears from wine mixture and place in a serving dish, standing upright. Continue boiling wine sauce until reduced to about 3/4 cup, 5 to 10 more minutes.
- Fill each pear's core cavity with chocolate sauce. Pour wine sauce over each pear.

[email protected]I've also made this recipe with different types of chocolate. I've used dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and even white chocolate. They all turn out great, so use whatever type of chocolate you like best.

[email protected]I've made this recipe with both fresh and canned pears and they both turn out great. I prefer the fresh pears, but the canned pears are a good option if you don't have fresh pears on hand.

[email protected]These pears are a great way to use up leftover red wine. I always have a bottle of red wine open in my fridge and I'm always looking for new ways to use it up.

[email protected]I made these pears ahead of time and they held up well in the refrigerator. I reheated them in the microwave before serving and they were just as good as when I first made them.
