Spiced Poached Pears in Chocolate Sauce
Ingredients
For the pears
375g caster sugar
1/2 cinnamon stick
1 strips lemon zest (use a potato peeler)
1 star anise
3 cloves
1cm piece fresh root ginger, peeled and sliced
2 ripe pears, peeled
For the chocolate sauce
100g good-quality dark chocolate
75ml double cream
75ml whole milk
Pinch ground cinnamon
375g caster sugar
1/2 cinnamon stick
1 strips lemon zest (use a potato peeler)
1 star anise
3 cloves
1cm piece fresh root ginger, peeled and sliced
2 ripe pears, peeled
For the chocolate sauce
100g good-quality dark chocolate
75ml double cream
75ml whole milk
Pinch ground cinnamon
Method
To poach the pears: In a medium-sized pan tip in all the ingredients except the pears. Half fill the pan with water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 10 mins to infuse, drop in pears, cover and gently poach for about 30 mins until soft. Turn off the heat and set aside. The pears can be poached up to 2 days ahead and kept in the poaching syrup in the fridge.
To make the chocolate sauce: Tip the chocolate into a heatproof bowl. Bring the cream, milk and cinnamon to the boil in a small non-stick saucepan and pour over the chocolate. Stir until the chocolate has melted.
To serve: Drain the pears and, holding them by the stem, dip them in the chocolate sauce to completely cover. Serve each pear with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.
