Method

  1. Melt the chocolate gently in a bowl over simmering water, making sure that it does not get too hot or the that the bowl doesn’t touch the water.
  2. Gently whip the icing sugar in to the cream so that it will still pour, then whisk in the melted chocolate.

  7. Remove the pears and boil the juice hard till syrupy.
  8. Allow to cool, then pour over the pears.
