Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients

- 1 bottle dry red wine
- 1/2 cup honey
- Whipped cream flavored with sugar and Cognac, for serving, if desired
Instructions

Pour the syrup over the pears and reserve at room temperature for several hours, or cover and refrigerate until about an hour before serving. Serve with whipped cream which you've sweetened with a little sugar and flavored with Cognac.
