Spiced Red Pears In Wine Crock Pot

---

This is one i'm considering for the holidays. it is originally from 125 best vegetarian crock pot recipes). the original says this is best in a 3 1/2 quart crock pot because that allows the pears to be submerged. this is served cold so it needs time to chill. depending on the size of your pears you might need more wine."
