Cinnamon Pear Dumplings With Ginger Tea Syrup

1. 1

   Make the ginger tea syrup by using two cups of water and two teabags to make a strong pot of tea on the stove. Once it comes to a boil, remove from heat and seep the tea for five minutes. Then remove the teabags, and add one cup of sugar and a dash of ginger. Turn the heat on high and boil the mixture for about five minutes. Take off stove and let cool.

2. 2

   Preheat the oven to 425F. Chop the pears into small dice and combine with the remaining sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon. Toss well and set aside.

3. 3

   Cut six inch squares of pie dough and drop one tablespoon of the pear mixture into each square. Dot with butter and then fold up the dough like a purse.

4. 4

   Arrange dumplings in a greased casserole dish and pour the syrup over.

5. 5

   Bake for about 35 minutes or until golden, basting occasionally with any extra syrup from around the sides of the pan.

6. 6

   Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
