Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups dry vermouth
  • 2.5 cups water
  • 1.5 cups sugar
  • 5 pears peeled, quartered, cored
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 tsp whole cloves
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Bring vermouth, water and sugar to a low boil.
  • Add pears to pan, with cinnamon, clove and vanilla extract.
  • Keep at low boil for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
  • Cool to desired eating temperature. Or don't. You do you. It is excellent right out of the pan, but will likely melt your ice cream or whip cream!

Notes

I suggest serving with ice cream (vanilla bean!), or whip cream.
