Ingredients:

Serving

1 750- ml bottle dry red wine
2 1/4 cups sugar
2 cups water
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tsp grated orange peel
1 tsp ground cardamom
1 cinnamon stick
4 firm but ripe pears, peeled , stems left intact
1 pint vanilla ice cream
1 plain or almond biscotti, crumbled
orange peel strips (optional)

Directions:

Combine first 7 ingredients in heavy large saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to simmer. Add pears and return mixture to simmer. Reduce heat and simmer slowly until pears are tender when pierced with knife, about 25 minutes. Transfer pears to plate. Boil liquid in saucepan until reduced to 3 cups, about 20 minutes. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill pears in poaching liquid. Before serving, rewarm over medium-low heat until pears are heated through.)
Arrange 1 warm pear and 1 scoop of ice cream on each of 4 plates. Drizzle some poaching liquid over. Sprinkle with biscotti crumbs. Garnish with orange peel strips, if desired, and serve.
