Ingredients
500 ml red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon)
3/4 cup water
3 Tablespoons raw sugar
2 star anise
1 cinnamon quill
3 whole cloves
2 Tablespoons Sticky Balsamic Premium Reserve
2 Packham pears, peeled
1 triple cream brie
a handful walnuts
a handful dried cranberries
Directions
In a small saucepan add the red wine, water, sugar, spices and Sticky Balsamic Premium Reserve.
Bring to a simmer and add in the peeled pears. Cover and simmer for 40 minutes. Turn the pears regularly to ensure they are evenly coated in the mulled wine while being poached.
Remove pears and simmer the mulled wine uncovered for a further 10 minutes, to thicken up the syrup.
Serve up the pears on a platter with triple cream brie, scattered walnuts and cranberries with a drizzle of the mulled wine syrup and Sticky Balsamic Premium Reserve.
