POACHED RUM RAISIN PEARS

Steps:

• Combine 1/3 cup rum with remaining ingredients in a 10-inch heavy skillet and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until pears are just tender, about 10 minutes. Remove lid and boil mixture, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced to a syrup, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in remaining tablespoon rum and serve warm or at room temperature.

CARAMELISED PEAR, RUM & COCONUT CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the lemon juice and cornflour together in a small bowl. Tip this into a medium ovenproof dish with the pears, sugar and rum. Dot over the butter and bake for 20-25 mins until the pears are soft, tossing halfway through.
• For the topping, rub the flour and butter together in a bowl between your fingertips until the mixture is a coarse breadcrumb-like texture. Stir through the sugar, both types of coconut, the almonds, cinnamon and ½ tsp sea salt flakes. Spread the mixture over a baking tray and bake for 10-15 mins until golden and crunchy. Sprinkle the topping over the pears, then bake for another 10-15 mins. Leave to cool slightly, then serve warm in bowls with clotted cream.

EASY POACHED PEARS

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine lemon zest, cinnamon stick, allspice, ground pepper, apple cider, and water.
• Add pears. Cover with waxed paper to prevent discoloring. Bring to a simmer. Cook, turning pears occasionally, until easily pierced with the tip of a paring knife, but not falling apart, about 20 minutes. Remove pears from liquid; transfer to large bowl.
• Raise heat to high; boil cider mixture until reduced to a syrup, about 15 minutes. Discard cinnamon. Pour syrup over pears; refrigerate. To serve, slice off a sliver from the bottom of each pear (so it stands upright). Serve pears with lemon sorbet, if desired.
