Have had these a number of times over the years but never cooked them.  Recipe sourced from several on the internet and to my taste.

Ingredients
1/2 cup sugar
1 large piece of orange peel
8 whole cloves
1 stick cinnamon
2 cups red wine (I used a Shiraz)
1/2 cup water
2 tsp vanilla extract
4 bosc pears

Method
Find a pot that the pears will fit in snuggly.  Place all ingredients except pears into the pot and bring to a simmer.  Peel pears and place into the pot and keep it simmering.  Cook for 25 minutes rotating the pears around every 5 minutes.  Allow pears to cool in liquid.

When cool remove pears then strain it.  Return strained liquid to the pot, return to a simmer until reduced to a nice syrup.

We had them with vanilla ice cream.

Looks a good dessert.
