- 3 pears the Corella variety, peeled with stems intact
- ¾ cup sugar caster or superfine
- 3 cups water
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 3 cloves
- ½ cup Muscat

Instructions
- Place the sugar, water, cinnamon, cloves and muscat in a pot over a low heat.
- Stir occasionally until all the sugar has melted and a light syrup forms.
- Place the pears in the poaching syrup and cook for about 15-20 mins (this may vary depending on their "firmness").
