Ingredients
- 2 cups apple cider
- 4 ripe but firm medium pears, preferably Bartlett, unpeeled
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons light-bodied red wine (Beaujolais would be perfect)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Method
- Simmer the cider in a small saucepan until it becomes a thick, golden syrup, about 1 hour.
- Let cool until ready to serve.
- (The sauce can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.)
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Halve the pears lengthwise, and using melon baller, remove the seeds.
- Cut the halves in half lengthwise.
- Combine the honey, wine, and cinnamon in a 9 by 13-inch baking dish.
- Add the pears and toss to coat.
- Bake until lightly browned and tender, about 20 to 30 minutes.
- Serve the pears warm or at room temperature, surrounded by a "swoosh" of cider reduction.
