Caramelized Pears with Red Wine are a delightful dessert to sweetly conclude a dinner. The spices and red wine leave a pleasant taste on the palate. They can be served accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream. If you want to prepare them in advance, they can be kept in the fridge and reheated when needed. Try making them with me!

Steps
Wash the pears well and peel them. Arrange them in a deep, narrow pan so they can be half-covered with the liquid. Pour the sugar and red wine.
Add the whole lemon peel (it will be easier to remove in the end), the cloves, cinnamon, and water. Place the pan over medium heat, cover with the lid, and bring to a boil.
Gently turn them occasionally, and after 1 hour, turn off the heat. Remove the pears from the pan and discard the lemon peel and cloves. Return the pan to the heat and reduce the sauce a bit more, which will be drizzled over the pears with a spoon. Serve the caramelized pears warm.
