Spooky spiced poached pears for Halloween! To complete your Halloween atmosphere, why not also make some ‘spider’ biscuits and Halloween brownies with nuts… A terrifying (but delicious…) afternoon treat awaits!
Instructions
- Make a syrup in a saucepan large enough to hold the 4 pears. Pour in about 50cl of water, the honey, cinnamon and olive oil. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the liquid has reduced to a syrup (allow a good twenty minutes).
- Peel the pears without removing the stalk or the cores: the pear must remain whole, without its skin. Place them in the syrup, turning them regularly: the pear should be melt-in-the-mouth.
- Decorate your pears using a black piping pen. Those with a sweet tooth can add a little syrup when serving.
