Ingredients

Malva pudding:
  • Mix up one pack of Ina Paarman Malva pudding or make a batch of the scratch recipe as per link above.
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 Tbs crystallized ginger finely chopped
  • syrup 1 Tbsp; reserved for the Malva sauce
Poached pears:
  • 3 pear peeled and cored, large or 4 smaller ones
  • 500 ml rooibos tea 2 x teabags, strong; brewed
  • 1 cinnamon quill form
  • 3 star anise pods
  • ¼ cup sugar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place rooibos tea, spice and sugar into a small pot and bring to a boil. Add the pears and cook for 10 minutes until soft but still holding shape. Drain and set aside.
  2. Make the Malva according to the pack and instructions adding ½ tsp ground ginger and the crystallized ginger.
  3. Spread in your baking dish and place the drained poached pears into the batter & cut side down to prevent the sauce pooling in the halves. Bake according to the pack or my recipe.
  4. When heating the Malva sauce, add 1 tablespoon ginger syrup and pour over the pudding as it comes out the oven.
  5. Serve with vanilla ice cream or custard.
  6. The original Malva pudding with orange juice
