Method :
Mix together the wine, water and sugar in a heavy-based saucepan and
dissolve over a gentle heat, then boil until syrupy, without stirring.
Stand the pears, stalks upwards, in the pan. Cut a circle of greaseproof
(waxed) paper with holes in for the stalks to poke through and place it
over the pears. Boil for 5-8 minutes, basting occasionally, until the
pears are just tender. Carefully remove the pears to a serving dish. If
the syrup is thin, bring it back to the boil, then mix the arrowroot with
a little cold water and stir it into the syrup. Boil for about 5 minutes
until thick and clear, then allow to cool. Spoon over and around the pears
and serve. |
