Serves: 4
Ingredients
For the pears
- 4 large or 8 small pears, peeled with stalk on
- 1 piece root ginger, peeled and sliced
- 4 cloves
- 1 star anise
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 strips lemon zest
- 500g caster sugar
For the chocolate sauce
- 75g dark chocolate drops
- 75ml fresh cream (Benna)

Method
To make the poached pears, place all the ingredients except the pears into a small saucepan. Half fill the pan with water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 10 minutes to infuse then drop in pears, cover and gently poach for about 20-30 minutes until soft. Turn off the heat and set aside. To make the chocolate sauce, tip the chocolate drops and cream into a small pan and heat together until you have a sauce, stirring constantly. To serve, drain the pears and holding them by the stem, dip them in the chocolate sauce to completely cover. Serve on a plate and you can also serve with vanilla ice-cream.
