Directions
1.
Combine wine, honey, lemon juice, orange juice and cinnamon sticks in a sauce pot and bring to a simmer.
2.
While the poaching liquid heats, peel the pears in straight, continuous strokes from the stem end to the base using a Y-shaped peeler. Cut a small slice from the bottom of each pear so that they can stand upright.
3.
Add pears to liquid, cover the pot, and simmer, turning occasionally, until the pears start to become tender, approximately 15-20 minutes. Remove pot from heat and allow pears to cool in the poaching liquid, approximately 1 hour. Serve immediately, or for darker coloration, transfer to refrigeration for up to 24 hours, turning the pears occasionally.
4.
To serve, pool poaching liquid as desired in center of dessert plate or shallow bowl. Stand pear in the center of the plate. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon orange zest.
