Colly made me this dessert earlier in the Summer, I think it was a Jamie Oliver recipe. I've recreated from memory and made some adjustments but it was truly delicious and piddly easy.
- Peel pears
- Cut bottoms flat at base so they stand up in a saucepan
- With a citrus peeler zest 1 orange and squeeze the zest of 2 over the top
- Add a large glass of Malaga Wine (Moscatel) or just a semi sweet white wine
- sprinkle over a heaped tbsp of caster sugar and split a vanilla pod and pop into pan
- Put on the hob and when the juices come to a boil, cover with an oven proof lid and pop into the oven at 180C for about 30-45 minutes
- Take out the oven and out of the juice and leave to cool
- Simmer the juice to make a more syrupy consistency
- Toast a handful of walnuts and when cool, whizz in a food processor, add juice of a lemon and zest, a tbsp of sugar and a tub of creme fraiche ( or jamie uses mascarpone)
- Serve this along side your pears with zest and a couple of walnuts for texture.
- pour over a little of the syrup on the pear
- drink remaining syrup ;)
