This is a pear port my wife and I made. Fortified with pear infused brandy.

Wonderful legs. Great pear nose and taste, then you get a hint of cinnamon and vanilla followed by just a bit of heat and finally pear after taste. This is going to be great after a few years. Not bad now.

Are you sharing the recipe for this anywhere?

I have ingredients for a pear wine that I want to make but I'd like to look over a few other ideas.

Made? or drank?

You need to fill those bottles up so there isn't so much headspace.

The recipe was fairly standard. The fancy part was making pear brandy, cut up enough pears to fill your jar (I think that was 5 or so for me), 4 cups sugar, add brandy, for me that was 1.5 liters. That sugar is 2 cups per 750 ml. Shake every couple of weeks, add more sugar, if desired to taste. Leave at least 6-8 weeks.

The port was 4 bushels of pears quartered to remove seeds. Then we ran them thru a juicer. 3 or 4 gallons of water, added sugar to 1.100, some tannin, triple the amount of pectin enzyme. Yeast nutrient. I believe we used 71b yeast. After Venegas went down to 1.020, added sugar back up to 1.040 and some extra yeast nutrient, repeated until yeast gave up. Clearing was a pain in the keister.
