INSTRUCTIONS
In 9-inch saucepan place wine, water, sugar, lemon peel & cinnamon stick. Bring to boil over moderate heat & simmer, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves. Meanwhile, peel pears and, leaving stem end intact, scoop out core from the blossom end with a knife. Sprinkle pears with lemon juice to keep them from turning brown. When pears are peeled & coated with lemon juice, add remaining lemon juice to sugar syrup & place pears in syrup, stem end up. Simmer pears uncovered 1 hour or until tender, turning them from side to side 5 or 6 times, but always leaving the stems up. When pears are tender, spoon them into a serving dish, strain the syrup over them & chill in refrigerator for several hours before serving. Makes 6 servings. MRS B.S.

A Message from our Provider:
“Let us thank God heartily as often as we pray that we have His Spirit in us to teach us to pray. Thanksgiving will draw our hearts out to God and keep us engaged with Him; it will take our attention from ourselves and give the Spirit room in our hearts. #Andrew Murray”
