Mulled Pears


Divine with a Chocolate Mousse, dreamy with Soft Cheeses and Marscapone, or for a heavenly breakfast with Goat's Yogurt and Maple Syrup... these pears, which have sat mulling in wine for near' 10 months now, offer an otherworldly breath of Christmas in the Summer midsts. 
...

1 Bottle of Red Wine
300g Sugar
Orange Juice
Lemon Rind
Mace
Cloves
Cinnamon
Ginger

Bring the above to the boil, and add whole, peeled Pears.  Cook at low heat for 2-3 hours until pears tender.
Bottle and Pasteurise.  Store.


I tend to do this recipe with early, slightly hard, windfalls.  As well as using them sweet, they work well with game and richer meats, much like the Pickled Pears.
