Ingredients:

Serving

4 1/2 cups dry red wine (about 1 1/2 750-ml bottles)
3/4 cup sugar
18 whole black peppercorns
2 6 x1-inch strips orange peel
1 bay leaf
3 firm but ripe bosc or bartlett pears, peeled, halved, cored
1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
1 1/2 tbsp orange juice
6 1/2- inch- thick lb cake slices, lightly toasted
vanilla ice cream

Directions:

Stir wine, sugar, peppercorns, orange peel and bay leaf in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high; cover and boil 5 minutes. Add pears. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until pears are tender, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Chill until cold, about 6 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and keep chilled.)
Remove pears from liquid. Strain liquid into heavy small saucepan. Boil until liquid is reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 8 minutes. Whisk cornstarch and orange juice in small bowl to blend. Add to saucepan and whisk until sauce boils and thickens, about 1 minute. Remove sauce from heat and cool slightly.
Cut pound cake slices diagonally in half. Thinly slice pears lengthwise. Arrange 2 pound cake triangles and 1 sliced pear half on each of 6 plates. Top each with ice cream; drizzle with sauce.
