Instructions
- In a large pot, combine wine, water, orange peel and juice, cinnamon, cloves, star anise, vanilla, maple syrup and brown sugar
- Peel pears and cut in half leaving the stems intact. Using a melon baller or metal tea spoon scoop the seeds out and cut the bottom of the pear off (where the hard stalk remains)
- Place pears in the pot and bring liquid to a boil then lower to a simmer making sure the pears are submerged in the liquid
- After about 15-20 minutes flip pears so the entire pear gets poached, cook for about another 15-20 minutes or until you can easily pierce them with a fork
- Remove pears to another plate and bring liquid back to a boil
- Once syrup is fully reduced take off heat
- Can serve warm with spiced coconut whipped cream, remaining syrup and chopped almonds
