Poached pears in spiced red wine

"I have made this many many times, but by picking the ingredients from a collection of recipes. You can further elivate it by adding 2 cloves, zest of a lemmon and some orange zest. I have have tried £1.99 bottles of red and £6.00 bottles of red with little difference in final taste. As Essgeebee states, don't reduce too much or on a rolling boil or you will have toffee! However... this happened to me last week, angry, I put the spare portions in the fridge, a day later and the toffee had turned back into a nice syrup again!!! Whilst it may be 'fat free' it does have a high sugar content (which I reduced). If you like this then try Pickled Pears. Happy Cooking. "
