Ingredients
3
pears
the Corella variety, peeled with stems intact
¾
cup
sugar
caster or superfine
3
cups
water
1
cinnamon stick
3
cloves
½
cup
Muscat
100
g
dark chocolate
melted in the microwave
Instructions
Place the sugar, water, cinnamon, cloves and muscat in a pot over a low heat.
Stir occasionally until all the sugar has melted and a light syrup forms.
Place the pears in the poaching syrup and cook for about 15-20 mins (this may vary depending on their "firmness").
Pears are ready when a toothpick pierces the flesh very easily.
Allow to cool slightly before serving the poached pears with a drizzle of hot, melted chocolate and some syrup.
Notes
You may serve this with double cream or ice cream if you wish.
