| 1 cup | 198g / 7oz | Sugar |
| 5 | Black peppercorns | |
| 1 | Cinnamon stick | |

In a medium non-reactive sauce pot, combine the red wine, sugar, black peppercorns, cinnamon stick, and cloves. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Bring to a boil and carefully place pears into the liquid. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the pears are tender when a knife is inserted. Remove the pears and let cool.
Turn the heat up and reduce the poaching liquid until 1 cup remains, and then set aside to cool.
When cool, place pears into serving bowls, drizzle with the red wine syrup, top with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprig of mint, and sprinkle on some powdered sugar.
This recipe yields 4 servings.
