• Simmer all ingredients except ice cream for 10 minutes. Scoop ice cream into bowl, pour over, and serve immediately.

PEARS POACHED IN RED WINE AND CASSIS

Steps:

• Combine wine, honey, and crème de cassis in a medium saucepan. Using the tip of a paring knife, scrape seeds from vanilla bean halves into wine and add pods.Add cinnamon stick and raisins and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, fill a bowl with water and add lemon juice. Peel, quarter and core pears and drop into the acidulated water. (This prevents the pears from discoloring.)
• Drain pears and add to simmering wine. Bring back to a simmer, cover and simmer 10 to 15 minutes more, until pears areslightly translucent. Turn off heat and remove cinnamon stick. Add almonds. Serve warm or chilled.

• In a medium mixing bowl combine pudding, whipped topping, and almond extract. Gently fold together until just combined. Arrange 3 pears in each serving dish. Top with 1/4 cup of the whipped topping mixture. Garnish with a tablespoon of toasted almonds.

POACHED PEARS WITH CREME ANGLAISE

Steps:

• To make the creme anglaise, rinse the inside of a non aluminum saucepan with water and shake out the excess.
• Pour in the milk and place over medium-low heat until bubbles form around the edges of the pan, about 5 minutes.
• In a small bowl, combine the whole eggs, egg yolk, and sugar; whisk just until blended.
• Gradually whisk in half of the hot milk, then pour the egg mixture back into the pan.
• Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, leaving a clear trail when your finger is drawn through it, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Stir in the vanilla.
• Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and let cool.
• Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or for up to 2 days.
• Julienne the zest from the lemon and set aside (reserve the lemon for the juice).
• With an apple corer or a small, sharp knife, carefully core each pear from the bottom.
• Trim the bottoms so they stand upright.
• Leaving the stems intact, peel the pears.
• In a large non aluminum stockpot, combine the pomegranate juice, brown sugar, lemon zest, juice from the reserved lemon and cinnamon stick.
• Bring to boil over high heat, then reduce heat to simmer.
• Place pears on their sides in the liquid and cook, uncovered, for 10 to 15 minutes.
• In the meantime, seed the pomegranates by cutting them in half (careful, the juice can stain).
• Fill a large bowl with cool water.
• Holding the cut fruit under the water, peel back the skin and membrane to release the seeds, allowing them to sink to the bottom of the bowl.
• Discard peels and membrane; drain and reserve the seeds.
• Carefully turn the pears over and cook until a small knife can be inserted easily into the bottom of the pear, 10 or 15 minutes longer.
• Once the pears are done, remove them from the cooking liquid and stand upright on individual serving plates.
• Remove and discard the cinnamon stick.
• Pour about 2 cups of the poaching liquid into a small saucepan; simmer over medium-low heat until reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
• Mix orange liqueur and cornstarch together in a small bowl.
• Gradually whisk the orange liqueur mixture into the reduced poaching liquid; reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring until the sauce thickens to a glaze, about 10 minutes.
• Pour a little of the glaze over each pear, then spread some of the creme anglaise around the bottoms of each one.
• Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and garnish with a mint sprig.
• Serve the remaining glaze alongside.

PEAR A LA CREPES

Steps:

• CREPE DIRECTIONS.
• First start with the CREPE ingredients.
• Whisk eggs in a small bowl until well mixed.
• Add sugar and milk to eggs.
• Gradually add flour to mix until evenly combined.
• Melt butter in microwave and then pour gradually into crepe mixture.
• Make sure your pan is heated quite low on the stove top with the smallest bit of butter (1 tsp) or none (depending if its a non stick pan).
• Pour about 1/4 cup of your CREPE mix on the heated pan and swirl around the base until it covers the bottom as much as possible (should be thin layer).
• Once the top is not sticky or wet any more, remove with a spatula and onto a plate (do not need to flip over).
• PEAR FILLING.
• On a (low heated) pan put the butter on so it melts.
• Put in honey and sprinkle a bit of brown sugar and mix around with the butter.
• Place pears in pan and let it take in the flavours they just need to be heated, softened and glazed slighty (about 5 mins).
• Make sure to stir around every once in awhile.
• Sprinkle in almonds if you want too!
• Now the pears are ready for the crepes (you want this to be warm when you eat it!) Put a few slices in a crepe and roll it up.
• All you need now is some vanilla yogurt to drizzle on top!
• MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
