Method

Ingredients

- 4 pears
- 1 bottle Taylors port
- 100 g sugar
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 pod star anise
- 4 cloves
- 0.5 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (or 1 vanilla pod)
- 0.5 tbsp orange zest
- 0.5 tbsp lemon zest
- Fresh ground black pepper
- 0.5 tsp salt

Method

1

Combine all the ingredients, except the pears, in a saucepan and gently bring to a boil. Simmer the liquid gently for 5-10 minutes, whilst you peel and core the pears, leaving the stalk intact for decoration.

2

Drop in the pears and continue to simmer for around 30 minutes, gently turning the pears occasionally to ensure they cook evenly.

3

Remove the pears, and then reduce the remaining sauce by about half. Strain into a jug and pour generously over the pears. Serve immediately with cream or vanilla ice cream.
