Ingredients

4 large pears, peeled and cored

1/2 teaspoon of ground cloves

1/4 teaspoon of salt

Whipped cream for serving

Instructions

In a large saucepan, combine the red wine, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the pears and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pears are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Remove the pears from the sauce and set aside. Increase the heat to medium-high and allow the red wine mixture to simmer until it has reduced and thickened, about 8-10 minutes.

Transfer the pears back to the saucepan. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pears are heated through. Serve the pears in individual dishes, topped with a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
