  Fantastic way of cooking pears. I tried freezing a couple and then thawed them much better than my usual Pears in Red Wine. Will be freezing some for during the winter.

  Just eaten this for dessert, WOW, what can I say, as a pensioner who took up cooking only 3 years ago, I followed this recipe to the letter, it works! My wife and I thought it was superb, served it with low fat creme fraiche, but for our taste, a tad less sugar, but each to their own, I'm going to freeze the rest, after fighting off she who must be obeyed who would like to polish off the lot now. Definitely 5 star, I would happily serve this if I were on "Come dine with me" and expect to get max marks, even fom the fussiest eater.
