Preserving pears and roasting chestnuts

I've picked the rest of the pears and now need to decide on the best recipe for preserving them. I think I know where to find one that includes chardonnay and cinammon. That's wine and spice, not the new girls on Hollyoaks.

I was mulling over the options while I roasted some chestnuts over the fire pit using my French chestnut roasting tool.

I love this time of year.
