Ingredients

• 4 Pear
• 50 g Sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 60 g Dark chocolate (70%)
• 60 ml Single cream

Contains: Milk. Always check the labels of what you buy.

Method

1. Put 600 ml water, the sugar and vanilla in a pan just big enough to hold the pears and bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
2. Peel the pears, leaving the stalks on, and cut a thin slice off the bottoms so they stand up.
3. Lower the pears into the syrup, cover with a circle of baking paper and poach gently for 20–25 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender when pierced with a knife.
4. Meanwhile, break up the chocolate and melt it with the cream in a small pan over a low heat, stirring until smooth.
5. Stand each pear in a bowl and pour over the chocolate sauce.
