Directions
Combine the water, wine, sugar, peppercorns, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, salt, red pepper and vinegar in a small saucepan.
Bring to a boil.
Add the pears and reduce heat to a simmer.
Cook for 10 minutes, until the pears are tender, turning every few minutes so they cook evenly.
When the pears are uniformly tender, remove to a plate.
Reduce the liquid in the pan by half.
Strain into a bowl. Add the vanilla and return the pears to the liquid to cool.
Serve at room temperature.
