Poached Pears with Port Syrup Recipe

Ingredients
4 large ripe pears, washed and dried
2 1/2 cups red port
1/2 cup sugar

Instructions
1. In a large saucepan, place pears in one layer. Pour port, sugar and vanilla over peaches, then add enough cold water to just cover them. Bring to a simmer and lower heat to medium and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
