Directions

  1. Combine pomegranate juice, orange juice, rum, 1/2 cup white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, and cloves in a large pot, simmer until sugar is completely dissolved, about 10 minutes.

  2. Peel pears, leaving stem intact. Slice 1/4 inch off the bottom for pears to stand securely.

  3. Place pears gently in the pot and cover. Simmer for 30 minutes, basting pears every 5 to 10 minutes. Remove pot from heat and let stand for 30 minutes, continuing to baste occasionally. Remove pears from pot and set aside.

  4. Strain spices from poaching liquid and add 1/3 cup sugar. Return to a low boil and reduce until sauce is thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.

  5. Ladle sauce over pears to serve.
