8 large bosc pears
1/2 gallon white chocolate raspberry ice cream or 1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream

Peel the pears, leave their stems attached, and trim a small slice from each bottom so they stand upright.
Combine red wine, sugar, lemon slices, and the split vanilla bean in a large pot and bring to a boil.
