Makes an amazing cake topper!
Ingredients
2 well-shaped bosc pears (firm but ripe)
1 C sugar
1 C water
2-3 lemons, juiced
Method
1. Slice the pears length-ways thinly, about 2-3mm thick. Leave the skin and seeds intact for a rustic effect.
2. Immediately immerse sliced pears in lemon juice to stop discolouration.
3. Over medium heat, melt sugar and water.
4. Simmer sliced pears 2 or 3 slices at a time for 1-2 minutes and place on a lined baking tray.
5. Bake in a very slow oven - 100 degrees - for 3 or 4 hours depending on thickness of pears. Pears should be shiny but crisp when done.
6. Allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
