Pears Baked in Red Wine

From the book Cooking for the Week by Diane Morgan, Dan Taggart, and Kathleen Taggart

Introduction

This is simplicity itself. The pears bake in a special mixture of wine and maple syrup for two hours with only a few bastings. A bulb baster is a handy tool to have, but you can just use a spoon if you don’t have one.

Ingredients

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 300°F. Trim the base of each pear to allow it to stand upright. Combine all the remaining ingredients in a 9- or 10-inch glass pie plate. Stand the pears in the wine mixture.
2. Bake for 2 hours, basting the pears with the pan juices every 30 minutes or so. Transfer the plate to a rack to cool. Serve warm or chilled, with the pan juices.
