Chef’s Handyman Pears Red and White

The icing on the cake is just and simple a dessert! I can hardly wait after a great dinner until the sweets will be served. The dessert is the top of the point for each dinner. I prefer light and fruity variations.

Red and white pears, the finish of the Christmas menu

Please use baby pears. Peel them and sprinkle with lemon juice. Bring the red wine or the grape juice in a large pan to the boil. Add cinnamon, sugar, vanilla, cardamom and a hint of tonka beans. Place the pears into the wine or juice. Reduce the heat and simmer them for 15 minutes or until soft. Remove the pan and allow the pears to cool.

Place the blueberries in a pan. Add 2-3 tbsp. of preserving sugar. Cook on medium heat for 5 minutes. Add vanilla pod, cinnamon and thyme. Simmer for another 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.

Combine the yoghurt and the vanilla sugar. Fold in whipped cream.

Place the yogurt and the blueberries in the middle of the plates. Add pear halves. Garnish with eatable flowers and leaves.

Shopping list for 4 serves:
Fruits: 1 lemon, 10 baby pears, 1 cup blueberries
Wine or Grape Juice: 4 dl or 2 cups
Spices: Cinnamon, sugar 80 g or 3 oz., 3-4 tbsp. of preserving sugar, vanilla sugar, vanilla pod, tonka bean, 3-4 cardamom seeds or 0.5 tsp. of cardamom powder
Dairy Products: 250 g yoghurt, 2 dl or 1 cup whipped cream
Decoration: Eatable flowers and leaves
