FOR THE SUGAR TWISTS
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.
