Steps:
- Peel pear, halve it lengthways and remove the seeds with a melon baller. Use a small, sharp knife to neatly remove the hard core leading to the stem.
- Put the pear, cut side down, in a small saucepan with the orange juice, cover and bring to simmering point then cook gently for 8-10 minutes, just until tender, turning the halves over after 5 mins and spooning some of the juice over them.
- Leave to cool in the juice. Peel the mandarin, divide into segments and remove the membrane covering each segment.
- Put pear half in each bowl and spoon pan juices over. arrange mandarin segments around and decorate with a mint sprig.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature.
