Uncooked compote stewed in red wine

Cut the pears in half lengthwise, peel the skin and stem, and scrape out the seeds with a spoon

Add the ingredients in [A] to a pot and heat over high heat

Once boiling, turn off the heat, add the pears from [1] and simmer over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes

Once the sauce is thick enough that you can easily insert a bamboo skewer into it, place the pot in ice water to cool. Meanwhile, boil one ladleful of the sauce in another small pot until it thickens, then cool it in ice water and place it in the refrigerator

Place the compote on a plate and top with vanilla ice cream

If you have vanilla beans, place them on the side and pour the sauce from [3] over them, drizzling it with a spoon
