Spiced Red Pears in Wine (Crock Pot)

Submitted by ladypit

"This is one I'm considering for the holidays. It is originally from "125 Best Vegetarian Crock pot Recipes). The original says this is best in a 3 1/2 quart crock pot because that allows the pears to be submerged. This is served cold so it needs time to chill. Depending on the size of your pears you might need more wine."

This was OK. The flavor or the clove took over. I`m not sure if it was the cloves or the crock pot method or not using lemon that made these a brown color and not a red. I did need to add more wine as it did get cooked down.
