Ingredients

Preparation

  • Preparation can be done ahead of time so the cooking can be done as the table is cleared for dessert.
  • In a bowl, whip the whipping cream till it stands up in peaks, chill till ready to serve.
  • In a saucepan just large enough to take the pears comfortably, mix the sugar, water, cinnamon stick, cloves, and orange peel.
  • Bring to a simmer and then cool.
  • Peel the pears, leaving the stem intact.
  • Cut a bit off the bottom of the pear to stand upright in the pan.
  • Leave them in a stainless or glass bowl covered with mild salt water until ready to cook.
  • When ready to cook, place dessert bowl or dish in plate warmer or oven set to 135 degrees.
  • Drain the pears and place them in the sugar syrup pan, upright.
  • Add the port and bring the whole to a gentle boil.
  • Turn to a simmer and cover.
  • Cook until the pears are tender but still a bit firm, about 15 minutes.
  • Transfer the pears, upright, to the warmed dessert bowls or dishes.
  • Turn up the heat to medium and continue reducing the sauce by about 1/2.
  • Puddle the reduced port sauce around the pears, add whipping cream and sprinkle with chopped candied ginger to garnish.
