Poached Pears in Ginger Syrup

Ingredients
4 buerre bosc pears, peeled with stalks intact
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup Stones Ginger Wine
3 cups water
2 star anise
2 cloves
1 cinnamon quill
1 vanilla bean, split
3 cm knob ginger, peeled and sliced into 3
2 cups low fat vanilla ice-cream (optional)

Method
Place sugar, wine and water in a large saucepan (large enough to fit all four pears) and gently bring to the boil.  Add star anise, cloves, cinnamon quill, vanilla bean, ginger and pears. Bring to a simmer, pop on a lid and poach until soft – about 30 minutes – turning pears every 10 minutes or so.  Remove pears and bring liquid to a boil for a couple of minutes to reduce slightly. Discard ginger, anise, cloves, cinnamon quill and vanilla bean.  Serve pears with ginger syrup and a little ice-cream.

Why it’s good for you
This dessert is one of the best that you’ll ever have.  It’s low in fat and full of warm spicy flavour. Gorgeous low fat dessert.
