Kellymac's Pears Poached in Spiced Port

Add the port, water and sugar to a saucepan (a deeper rather than wider one is better) over medium-high heat. Stir thoroughly until sugar is dissolved.

Add pears and bring to a boil.

Once boiling add remaining ingredients.

Boil for 10-12 minutes or until pears are soft.

Plate pears and scoop out small round center where the seeds are.

Use this as a well to pour your sauce, allowing it to flow over for a beautiful and tasty presentation.
