Remove the skin from the pears, leaving the
stem intact. Starting from the bottom
of the pear and using a
corer, remove the core from
each pear, stopping 3 cm from the
stem. Cut a small slice
off the base so they can stand up.
In an Express Pressure Cooker®, place the wine,
sugar, lemon peel, cinnamon, and
cloves. Mix to dissolve the sugar
and add the pears, arranging them
in the center of the pot. If the pears
are not covered by the wine, add
enough water to cover them.
Close the Express Pressure Cooker® and place the
pressure regulator on it, put it on
the stove over high heat for about 25 minutes
or until a constant steam comes out, lower the flame to
medium and cook for 5 minutes.
Remove the Express Pressure Cooker® from the fire,
let cool, remove the pressure regulator,
open the Express Pressure Cooker® and you're done!
Check that the pears are soft by
piercing them. Remove with a slotted spoon
and let cool to room
temperature.
Put the wine mixture back over high heat and
let it reduce until you obtain 3/4
cup and the mixture acquires the consistency
of thick honey.
The pears should be served at room
temperature and the syrup should be
reheated before serving.
