6 Hard Pears
1 bottle red wine
1 bay leaf
4 cloves
1 stick, cinnamon
1 piece of fresh ginger
1 1/4 cups of sugar
Preparation
Peel the pears, leaving the stem attached. Pour the bottle of wine in the pressure cooker. Add the bay, cloves, cinnamon, ginger and sugar. Mix well to dissolve. Add the pears to the pressure cooker and close and lock the lid. Turn the heat on to high and when the pan begins to whistle (hiss), lower the heat to the minimum and start counting 17 minutes. When time is up move the pan to the sink, lift the valve and let all of the steam escape naturally. BE CAREFUL because some of the red wine could sputter out of the valve. Set the pears aside and put the pressure cooker back on the heat, without the top, to reduce the cooking liquid to about half. filter and then drizzle syrup on pears, decorate with herbs and serve either room temperature or chilled.

Kareemitheed, you can do the whole thing in a covered saucepan but the cook time will be 35-40 minutes.
