Preparation

Step 1

Wash the orange and thinly pare away the rind with a potato peeler. Shred the rind finely and put into a deep, flame-proof casserole. Add the sugar, wine and water and heat gently, stirring until sugar dissolved. Add the cinnamon stick and boil for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Peel the pears, leaving the stalks on, and stand them in the red wine syrup. Cover the dish with a large piece of foil, pushing the stalks through the foil to hold the pears upright.

Place the casserole dish in the center of Flavorwave oven and bake at 350°F for about 25 minutes, until the pears are tender. Remove from syrup and arrange in a serving dish.

Boil the syrup rapidly until reduced by half. Remove the cinnamon stick and spoon the sauce over the pears. Leave to cool, then chill for 2-3 hours, basting the syrup over the pears occasionally.

Serve with whipped cream and ladyfinger’s.
