- Cut spears lengthwise into halves; core and stem.
- In a 3- to 4-qt pan, bring wine, brown sugar, vinegar, orange and lemon juices, lemon peal, peppercorns and cinnamon stick to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add in pears, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, till pears are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15 min. With a slotted spoon, lift pears from wine mix; set in a 9- by 13 inch backing dish to cold. Turn heat to high; boil till dressing is reduced to 1 c., about 20 min. Throw away cinnamon and peppercorns; cold slightly. (If making ahead, cover and refrigeratepears and dressing separately up to 1 day; rinse and crisp salad greens 1 day ahead.)
- In a large bowl, gently mix salad greens with 2/3 c. of the dressing.
- Proportionately distribute dressed greens on 8 salad plates. Place a pear half (or possibly 3 halves if using Seckel pears) in the center of each plate and scatter jicama pcs around pears on greens. Spoon remaining dressing equally over pears and greens.
