Preparation

• Peel and core the pears.
  Cut them into quarters. Place the pears in a saucepan and add the wine and sugar.
  Peel the lemon and cut the peel into very fine julienne strips. Reserve the lemon for another use. Add the peel to the saucepan.
  Bring to the boil and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, or until pears are tender.
  Transfer the pears and the lemon peel to a serving dish. Bring the liquid in the saucepan to the boil and add the remaining ingredients.
  Bring to the boil and cook for about 10 minutes or until liquid is reduced to half.
  Pour the sauce over the pears. Let cool and chill.
