Heat the red wine, sugar, jam, cinnamon and orange zest in a saucepan until the sugar and
jam have dissolved.
Peel the pears, halve lengthways and remove the core with a melon baller or knife.
Spread out the fruit in the baking pan, immediately pour over the red wine mixture and
carefully turn the pear halves in the sauce. Cook as indicated until the pears are soft, but not
falling apart.
Remove the pears and arrange on plates. Reduce the red wine mixture in a saucepan over a
low heat. Pour the red wine sauce over the pears and serve warm.
