1 Cup Dry White Wine
2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 ½ Cups Sugar
4 Slices Orange
1 Slice Lemon
4 Whole Cloves

Combine pears, lemon juice and wine in a heavy 6 quart pot. Cover and simmer for 25 minutes or until pears are tender. Puree mixture and return to pot. Add remaining ingredients. (tie cloves, cinnamon and vanilla in a piece of cheesecloth, if desired.) Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high and boil or 30-40 minutes until considerably thickened.
