Stoofperen met Rode Wijn, also known as Red Wine-Poached Pears, is a classic Dutch dessert that is perfect for the fall and winter months. The pears are slowly cooked in a spiced red wine syrup, which infuses them with rich flavor and gives them a stunning deep red color. This dish can be served warm or chilled and makes a beautiful dessert for a dinner party or holiday gathering.

Instructions

1.	Add the pears, sugar, orange zest, cinnamon stick, and red wine to a large saucepan.

6.	Return the poaching liquid to the saucepan and bring to a boil.
