Stoofperen met Rode Wijn (Red Wine-Poached Pears)
A simple, but delicious recipe for poached pears in red wine. You only need a handful of ingredients. You can eat the pears as a dessert, warm or cold, but in the Netherlands we traditionally eat stewed pears as a side dish for Christmas. I prefer them cold.
Ingredients
- 4 large firm pears - peeled , cored, and quartered
- 0.5 cups white sugar
- peel of 1 orange
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 bottle red wine , 750 milliliter
Instructions
-
1
Place pears in a saucepan. Add sugar, orange peel, and cinnamon stick. Pour in red wine to cover pears completely. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer gently until pears are soft and deep red in color, about 2 1/2 hours.

Transfer pears to a serving plate using a slotted spoon. Serve the pears warm or cold.
