To create the simple syrup (ingredients marked with *):
- In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the pears, sugar, water, cinnamon, and nutmeg to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sugar is dissolved.
- Turn the heat to low and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Allow the syrup to cool, then strain out the solids.( The syrup can be stored in the refrigerator, covered, for up to one month.)
- Combine the pear simple syrup, orange juice, and brandy in a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
- Shake vigorously to combine. Pour into an ice-filled glass and serve immediately.
