Start by peeling your pears. Make sure to leave the stalk on the pears.
In a medium-sized pot, add the red wine, sugar, orange juice, lemon juice, vanilla essence and cinnamon sticks and bring to a boil. Make sure to stir occasionally so the sugar dissolves.
Once the wine cooks, add your pears, bring the heat down to low and cover. Cook for about 30 minutes, or until the pears are tender.
Let the pears cool off completely before serving. You can serve it with whipped cream and cinnamon, or vanilla ice cream.
