When the wine reaches a boil you can add pears to poach and absorb the great tasting wine concoction. I recommend doing this. You won't be sorry.

Step 11 of 12
You can serve it as soon as it's heated or let it simmer longer, at least ten minutes, for a stronger, better flavor. Let it boil at least twenty minutes of you've added pears.

There's a list of spices I use in the ingredients list. You can taste the wine after you add those spices, and if you feel it's missing something, you can go ahead and add it. It's sort of a lax recipe, you can make it your own. You could add tea bags, limes, allspice, honey, cloves, pretty much any spice that would compliment holiday spices. Hope that helps.
