2 hard pears
1 1/4 cup dry red wine or grape juice
1/4 cup sugar
1 cinnamon stick

Peel pear 2/3 way down from stem, leave upper 1/3 peel to stem and trim pear
bottoms so they
will sit flat. Mix together sugar and cinnamon in medium saucepan over
medium heat and stir to
dissolve sugar. Set pears in pan so they aren't touching and bring liquid to
boil. Reduce heat to
medium-low and cover pan. Simmer until pears are soft. When soft, carefully
remove with
