Take some Williams pears and clean them thoroughly, or peel them if you prefer.
In a saucepan, boil red wine with wild thyme, sugar, pepper, and vanilla. Let simmer for 10 minutes.
Poach the pears in this simmering mixture until tender inside, which takes about 30 minutes.
Drain them. Reduce the cooking juices until they become syrupy.
Serve the pears topped with this sauce.
