INSTRUCTIONS
STEP ONE: Select large firm pears. Peel pears, leaving the stems. Core from
the bottom, leaving a 3/4-inch hole. Bring the white wine, sugar, and
seasoning to a boil in a saucepan. Place the pears in the wine and simmer
until tender. Be careful not to overcook. Set aside and let the pears cool
in the wine.
STEP TWO: Chocolate Sauce-- Put cream, chocolate, powdered sugar, butter,
and strong coffee in a double boiler and heat for 30 minutes or until the
chocolate is melted. Mix well.
STEP THREE: Drain the pears, spoon the chocolate sauce in a nice stem glass
or a bowl, and place the pears in the center. Garnish with fresh mint
leaves.
CHEF'S NOTE: These pears are excellent served over French Vanilla ice cream
and topped with chocolate sauce.
