Orange Liqueur Pears

1. 1

   Peel the pears but leave the stem intact.

2. 2

   Trim the base so they stand upright.

3. 3

   I take a teaspoon and take out some of the core too, as it allows the syrup to get right up inside.

4. 4

   In a saucepan combine the juice, water, sugar, rind and wine.

5. 5

   Stir over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved then add the pears and simmer for 20 minutes or until the pears are tender.

6. 6

   Baste with the syrup from time to time.

7. 7

   Remove the pears and increase the heat under the pan.

8. 8

   Reduce until the syrup has reached a more sticky saucy consistency.

9. 9

   Pour this syrup over the pears and allow them to cool then add the orange liqueur.

10. 10

    When cold remove the orange rind and serve with a little of the syrup spooned over.
