Steps:
- Peel 4 Bosc pears, leaving stem intact. In a saucepan just large enough to hold pears on their sides, bring to a boil 4 cups water, 1 1/2 cups dry red wine, 1 1/4 cups sugar, 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns, 1 dried bay leaf, and peel of 1 lemon.
- Add pears, and cover with a round piece of wax paper. Reduce heat to low; simmer gently until pears are crisp-tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool in poaching liquid, then chill pears at least 2 hours or up to 3 days.

[email protected]The pears were delicious, but the poaching liquid was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

[email protected]These poached pears were a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's because I used a dry red wine. Next time I'll try using a sweeter wine.
