Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

pears 8 small (or 4 large ones)
maple syrup 4 tbsp
white wine or vermouth 6 tbsp
water 150ml
cinnamon a short stick
vanilla pod 1

Steps:

  • Set the oven at 180C/gas mark 4. Peel the pears if you wish, or leave them as they are. (I only peel any with a very coarse skin.) Place the pears snugly in an ovenproof dish. Mix the syrup, wine and water and pour over the pears. Split the vanilla pod in half and tuck in among the pears. Add the cinnamon stick. Cover with foil or a lid and bake for 40-50 minutes until soft and tender. Turning the pears once or twice during baking ensures they cook more evenly. Serve the pears with the cream below.
