Australian Tamara3 1 Servings

INGREDIENTS

6 Firm-ripe Bartlett pears
peeled but with
stems intact
750 Australian shiraz of your
choice or other red
wine
1 c Sugar
3/4 c Tawny Port
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
1 50 grams piece ginger
peeled and bruised
1 Sheet puff pastry
3 T Sugar
1 t Cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS

Place the pears in a saucepan then pour over the red wine, sugar and
port. Add the juice and zest of the lemon and the ginger then bring  to
the boil.  Simmer in the red wine mixture until the pears are bright
red and  almost tender, about 20 minutes. Carefully remove the pears
from the  liquid, then boil the pear liquid until it has reduced and is
syrupy.  Return the pears to the syrup and allow the mixture to cool
until  ready to serve.  To make the sugar twists, lay the pastry on a
flat surface and brush  with a little water. Sprinkle the sugar over
the top and press down  to make sure it adheres a little. Slice the
pastry into strips, 1cm.  thick. Pick up one strip and twist each end
in the opposite direction  until the strip resembles a rope. Carefully
lay the twists on a  baking sheet or tray and bake at 220c. for 5-10
minutes or until very  golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and
allow to cool.  Serve the pears warm or cool, accompanied by fresh
clotted or thick  cream.  Converted by MC_Buster.  Per serving: 1357
