Slow Cooked Pears

Ingredients: Serves: 6

• 1 ½ cups dry red wine
• ½ cup of marsala
• 2 star anise
• 1 cinnamon quill
• 6 medium pears

• 3 thick strips of orange rind
• 4 cardamom pods

Method:

Place all the ingredients into a slow cooker.
Turn the pears to coat well with the cooking liquid.
Cover and cook on low for 4 hours, occasionally turning the pears in the liquid to ensure an even colouring and infusion of flavours.
