The great thing about autumn are the seasonal fruits such as apples and pears. This also means poached pears in red wine and ginger, or add some cinnamon.

COMBINE red port, red wine, sugar, juice and zest of a lemon in the large pan. PEEL the piece of ginger and chop into large pieces and also ADD to the mixture. PEEL the pears and remove a part of the core on the bottom.
During peeling it is recommended to place them into cold water with a little bit of lemon to prevent them from discolouring, but it's not necessary.
CREATE a round piece of parchment paper that fits exactly into the pan and cut a small hole in the middle.
PLACE the peeled pears into the wine mixture and COVER with the round piece of parchment paper. Don't let it come to a boil and simmer on low heat for about 2,5 to 3 hours.
Or until the pears are softened enough, you can easily check this with a sharp small knife. Enjoy this lovely poached pears with ice cream for a perfect autumn dessert. Or even as a side dish for meat.
