Pears Poached In White Wine

4 ripe pears, peeled but leave stem attached
2 cups water
1 cup white wine
1 cup sugar
1 cinnamon stick
1 strip lemon rind

Remove core from pears with an apple corer, leaving the pear whole. In a
large pan, add water, wine, sugar, cinnamon stick, and lemon rind; bring
to a boil. Add pears and poach gently from 5 to 10 minutes, depending on
the size of the pear. The pears should be firm but tender. Carefully lift
pears out of the liquid with a slotted spoon; set aside.

Boil liquid rapidly for 5 to 10 minutes or until it thickens. Spoon over
pears and serve. Serve warm or chilled.
