Indulge in decadent stuffed pears with walnuts and dates.

Ingredients:

4 beurre bosc pears, peeled, halved lengthways
60ml (1/4 cup) fresh lemon juice
200g fresh dates, pitted, finely chopped
50g walnuts, finely chopped
2 tsp finely grated lemon rind
80ml (1/3 cup) honey
5 whole cloves
Low fat ice-cream, to serve

Instructions:

Scoop out the pear seeds and core using a teaspoon to create a hollow. Arrange the pear halves in a shallow heatproof dish, then drizzle with lemon juice and coat evenly.
In a bowl, mix dates, walnuts, and lemon rind. Fill the pear halves with the date mixture. Drizzle honey over the pears and sprinkle cloves on top.
Gently steam the dish in a large metal steaming pan or bamboo steamer above simmering water. Dampen a 15cm-square non-stick baking paper, squeeze out excess moisture, and use it to cover the pears to maintain their moisture.
Steam the pears covered until just tender, about 5 minutes. Remove the dish from the steamer, discard cloves, then plate the pears and drizzle with any honey. Enjoy with low-fat ice cream, if desired.
