Ingredients:
1 ½ cups St. James Friendship School Red (semi-dry red wine)
1 T cinnamon
1 tsp. Allspice
½ tsp. nutmeg
½ cup sugar
¼ tsp. red coloring (gel)
2 pears (fresh)
cheesecloth

Directions:
Place cinnamon, Allspice, nutmeg into cheesecloth – tie into a bag. Place spice bag, wine, food coloring and sugar into a pan (large enough to hold the pears). Peel pears leaving stems on. Stand pears upright in pan – cover – simmer about 20 minutes until tender. After pears are tender and nice color of red, lift out of pan and set aside to cool. Boil juices until it reduces to ¾ cup. Let it cool. Cut one inch off top of pear – remove core – scoop out pear bottom. Add pear scooping to juice – blend until smooth. Pour mixture into a container and place in freezer. Stir a couple of times while in freezer. Place pears in freezer to cool (2-4 hours). Once sherbet freezes (4 hours overnight), scoop into pears, replace top of pears. Serves 2.
