Festive desserts are complete with these flavorful pears as a finishing touch.
Ingredients:
  • 4 pears
  • 1 lemon, rind pared, fruit halved
  • 1 cinnamon quill
  • 4 whole cloves
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 300g caster sugar
  • 150g cranberry
Instructions:
  • Peel, core, and halve the pears, then gently rub them with the cut side of a lemon to prevent browning. Let them sit aside.
  • In a pan, combine rind, spices, bay leaves, sugar, and 500ml water. Stir over gentle heat until sugar is dissolved. Add pears and simmer over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until nearly tender. Next, toss in berries and cook for 3-4 minutes until soft.
  • Transfer the fruit to a serving dish using a slotted spoon. Simmer the remaining liquid over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until it thickens into a syrup. Pour the syrup over the fruit and allow it to cool.
