Step 1: Combine the wine, juice, orange oil and sugar in a pot.
Step 2: Bring to a gentle boil.
Step 3: Peel the pears and cut them in half.
Step 4: Remove the core and slice a bit off the back so that the pears do not roll when placed in the pot (inside facing up).
Step 5: Place the pear halves in the pot and poach for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally.
Step 6: Remove the pear halves from the liquid and set aside.
Step 7: As per the gelatin instructions, dilute it with water and add it to the hot liquid in the pan.
Step 8: Transfer to a dish and refrigerate immediately.
Step 9: Once the jelly has set, cut into small pieces.
Step 10: Preheat the oven on broil.
Step 11: Place the pear halves face-up on a baking tray.
Step 12: Add cheese to each of the pear halves and broil for 1 minute. (Always keep an eye on food that is being broiled.)
Step 13: Serve the pear halves accompanied with pieces of jellied syrup.
