Directions

In a 3-4 quart saucepan, combine wine, orange pieces, 1 1/2 cups sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and 2 cups water and bring to boil over high heat.
Add pears, reduce heat to a simmer, and place on top of pears to submerge in the liquid. Cook, covered, until pears are tender when pierced, about 15 minutes.
