Pears poached in red wine

A classic and elegant dessert featuring tender pears gently poached in spiced red wine with brown sugar and star anise. The pears absorb the deep ruby colour and fragrant, warm flavours of the poaching liquid. Serve warm or chilled with a generous dollop of thick Greek yogurt.
