Put the wine and sugar in the pot, bring to the boil, stirring until sugar dissolves.
1 bottle red wine, 4/7 cups sugar
Meanwhile gently peel the pears, moving from top to the bottom, leaving the stem.
3 pears
Add pears, tea bag, orange zest and spices in the pot with wine. Lower the heat. Simmer 20-30 minutes until pears are cooked. Make sure the pears are covered with wine, rotate them from time to time.
Leave the pears in the same liquid for at least 2 hours or overnight in the fridge.
Cut the bottom of each pear so it seats straight on the plate with the stem, looking on top.
Sieve the wine sauce. Add more sugar and cook until it reduces in half (if you want syrupy consistence).
Serve one pear per person, pour few tablespoons of wine sauce on top of the pear.
Notes
*Check if the pears are cooked, stabbing with a knife the bottom of each pear. Remember, the pears will continue cooking after removing them from heat.*You can reheat the pears in the same red wine sauce.*You can use 4,5 g /1,6 oz of Stevia powder instead of sugar.
