Yield: 8 servings 

Ingredients:
8 medium apples or pears, cored and peeled (Golden Delicious or any other good baking apple)
3 cups port
2 cups orange juice, preferably with pulp
1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
1 cinnamon stick or 1 tsp ground cinnamon
5-6 whole cloves
½ tsp whole peppercorns
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 Tbl orange blossom water (Available at any ethnic market or online.
www.zamourispices.com is a great source)

Instructions:
Place the port, orange juice, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, citrus zest, pepper, vanilla and orange blossom water in a medium saucepan. Place on medium high and bring to a boil. Add apples or pears. Bring to a boil again and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer uncovered for approximately 20 minutes or until a knife inserted into the apples comes out cleanly. Remove pears to a bowl and cool. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Bring the sauce to a boil and reduce by half, which should take approximately an additional 20 minutes. Cool syrup and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight. Serve cold garnished with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream or mascarpone cream.
