Instructions

  1. Place the sugar, water, cinnamon, cloves and muscat in a pot over a low heat.
  2. Stir occasionally until all the sugar has melted and a light syrup forms.
  3. Place the pears in the poaching syrup and cook for about 15-20 mins (this may vary depending on their "firmness").
  4. Pears are ready when a toothpick pierces the flesh very easily.
  5. Allow to cool slightly before serving the poached pears with a drizzle of hot, melted chocolate and some syrup.

Notes

  • You may serve this with double cream or ice cream if you wish.
