Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 firm pears
250 ml orange juice
125 ml water
125 ml dry white wine
4 tablespoons sugar
2 strips orange rind
125 ml orange liqueur (Grand Marnier for example)

Steps:

  • Peel the pears but leave the stem intact.
  • Trim the base so they stand upright.
  • I take a teaspoon and take out some of the core too, as it allows the syrup to get right up inside.
  • In a saucepan combine the juice, water, sugar, rind and wine.
  • Stir over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved then add the pears and simmer for 20 minutes or until the pears are tender.
  • Baste with the syrup from time to time.
  • Remove the pears and increase the heat under the pan.
  • Reduce until the syrup has reached a more sticky saucy consistency.
  • Pour this syrup over the pears and allow them to cool then add the orange liqueur.
  • When cold remove the orange rind and serve with a little of the syrup spooned over.
