Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 pears, peeled
½ lemon, juiced
2 cups water
½ cup white sugar
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
4 (1 ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon coffee flavored liqueur
4 maraschino cherries, garnish

Steps:

  • Leave stems on peeled pears. Sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent browning. Set aside.
  • In a saucepan large enough to accommodate 4 pears standing upright, combine water and sugar. Place over medium heat, and boil until sugar is dissolved. Stir in vanilla, then place the pears in. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Allow to cool in liquid, then drain.
  • In the top of a double boiler, combine chocolate, cream and butter. Heat, stirring, until chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from heat, and stir in coffee liqueur.
  • Place pears on serving dish, pour chocolate sauce over pears, and garnish with maraschino cherries.

This recipe was a waste of time. The pears were mushy and the chocolate sauce was bland.

The chocolate sauce was too thick. I had to add some milk to thin it out.

The pears were not cooked all the way through. I had to put them back in the oven for an extra 10 minutes.
