Method
- Carefully peel the pears from tip to base in one strip, to give them a neat shape. Place in a pan of apple juice, making sure they are totally submerged, add the star anise and honey and simmer gently for 15 mins. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
- Reduce the liquid by half and allow to cool. Pour over the pears. Melt chocolate in a bain marie. Add the cream and mix until smooth. Serve with the pears.
Tip: You can also poach pears in wine — serve with crème fraîche.
