Directions
- Place pears into a large sauce pan with a lid. In a medium bowl, stir together brown sugar, wine, water, vanilla, and cinnamon sticks. Pour mixture over pears.
- Bring pears to a boil and then reduce heat to low and cook for 5 to 10 minutes. Pierce a pear with a sharp knife to see if it's soft. If not, cook for a few additional minutes. To serve, transfer pears with their liquid to dessert dishes.
