Ingredients
- 500 ml red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon)

- 2 star anise
- 1 cinnamon quill
- 3 whole cloves
- 2 Tablespoons Sticky Balsamic Premium Reserve

- 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.
