Spiced Pears In Cider Recipe - Cooking Index
| 6 teaspoons | 30ml | Firm pears (large) |
| 1 | Dry cider - strong | |
| OR red wine | ||
| 4 oz | 113g | Sugar |
| 1 | Vanilla pod - split | |
| 2 | Cinnamon sticks | |
| 1 teaspoon | 5ml | Corn starch - or arrowroot |
| Flaked almonds - toasted | ||
| 15 | Double cream - whipped |
Preheat the oven to 250F.
Peel the pears neatly, leaving the stalks on, and stand them in a large casserole.
In a saucepan bring the cider, sugar, split vanilla pod and cinnamon sticks to the boil.
Pour this over the pears, cover the casserole and bake very slowly for about 3 hours, turning the pears half-way through the cooking time.
When the pears are cooked, transfer them to a serving bowl and cool.
Pour the liquid into a saucepan, discarding the vanilla pod and cinnamon sticks.
Mix the arrowroot with a little cold water to a smooth paste, then add to the saucepan with the liquid. Bring to the boil, stirring until the mixture has thickened slightly to a syrup.
Pour it over the pears, allow to cool a little, then baste each pear with a good coating of the syrup.
Place in the refrigerator to chill thoroughly and serve sprinkled with toasted flaked almonds and whipped cream.
