Instructions

Combine all of the ingredients except the pears in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved, about 8 minutes. Meanwhile, peel the pears, leaving the stems intact.When the poaching liquid boils, reduce the heat to low and add the pears, laying them on their sides so that they are almost completely submerged. Turn the pears occasionally so that they cook evenly and poach until they just give way when pierced with a knife, about 5 minutes.
