Method

1

Halve the vanilla pod lengthways, scrape out the black seeds and put in a large saucepan with the wine, sugar, cinnamon and thyme.

2

Cut each piece of pod into three long thin strips, add to pan, then lower in the pears.

3

Poach the pears, covered, for 20-30 mins, making sure they are covered in the wine.

4

Take the pears from the pan, then boil the liquid to reduce it by half so that it’s syrupy.

5

Serve each pear with the cooled syrup, a strip of vanilla, a piece of cinnamon and a small thyme sprig.
