"Stoofpeertjes"

In the Netherlands, we love stewed pears! But I had a problem here,finding the right ones to use!!We have the "Giessen Wildeman",not to find here and also not someone who looks a bit like it! So i tried and found out that Bosc pears give the best results.
Now I tell you how to handle:
For 2 persons, I use 2/3 pears, depends on the size, Peel them cut in quarters , uncore and put them in a pan.Put in a half glass of red wine and so much water that they are just covered(it can without wine, just use a tablespoon sugar an a small piece of vanilla bean).
Put it for at least 2 hours on a very low heat ( a wood stove is good for that).
Enjoy!!
