Carefully peel the pears removing the skin and leaving the stick (a good solution is to use a carrot peeler).

Place in a sauce pan (it should be large enough to fit the pears and allow them to be covered with the wine) add the wine together with the rind and juice of an orange 

Leave to boil for 20 minutes over low heat. With the help of a knife remove the inside of the vanilla sticks and add it all into the saucepan. Continue to boil for another 15-20 minutes until the pears are only slightly soft and serve cold with yogurt or a white cheese. For the daring it is an excellent combination with roquefort.

Note:

If we do not have sweet wine we can use any dry white wine adding 100gr of sugar at the boil.
