Ingredients

Makes4 servings4 servings
  • 4Firm, ripe pears
  • 350 mlWater

  • 1Cinnamon stick
  • 2Strips of orange peel

  3. Add the pears and poach gently for 20 to 30 minutes, turning them, until a thin knife slides through.
  4. Lift out the pears and reduce the liquid for 5 to 8 minutes over a medium heat, to a light syrup.

  6. Serve the pears warm or cold with a little of the syrup.

More

Why it works
Pear sits naturally with the winey, spiced side of the liqueur.
Tip
Poaching time depends on how firm the pears are. Added at the end, the liqueur keeps its alcohol.
To serve
One whole pear per plate, with a discreet glaze.
Meet the liqueur

This recipe contains alcohol. Cooking does not remove it completely, so a dish made with liqueur should never be presented as alcohol-free.
