Steps:
- In a pan big enough to hold the pears snugly, tip in all the ingredients except the pears. Half fill the pan with water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 10 mins to infuse, drop in pears, cover and gently poach for about 30 mins until soft. Turn off the heat and set aside. The pears can be poached up to 2 days ahead and kept in the poaching syrup in the fridge.
- To make the chocolate sauce, tip the chocolate into a heatproof bowl. Bring the cream, milk and cinnamon to the boil and pour over the chocolate. Stir until the chocolate has melted. To serve, drain the pears and, holding them by the stem, dip them in the chocolate sauce to completely cover. Serve each pear with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Steps:
- Peel the pears, leaving the stalks intact, then take the core out from the bottom of each by using a small sharp knife or a melon baller. Flatten the bottom by slicing off a little bit so that it will sit upright when served. Put the pears into a saucepan with the zests, vanilla pod, sugar, cinnamon, white wine and 600ml water, then bring to the boil. Lower the heat and poach for about 20-25 mins until they are cooked all the way through, but are not so soft that they will fall apart. Leave to cool in the liquid. Can be made and chilled a day ahead.
- When cool, take the pears out, strain out the cinnamon, zest and vanilla pod (keep the pod, allow it to dry, then pop it into a jar of sugar to make vanilla sugar), then pour the syrup back in the pan. Boil until reduced by half to a thin syrup.
- Meanwhile, to make the sauce, melt the chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Warm the cream, milk and butter in a heavy based pan. Stir this into the melted chocolate, set aside and keep warm. Can be made and chilled a day ahead. If the sauce cools and thickens too much, warm it again gently over a pan of simmering water or for 30 secs in a microwave. Serve the pears with plenty of syrup, chocolate sauce and good-quality vanilla ice cream.

PEARS IN CHOCOLATE FUDGE BASKETS
I love making desserts w/fresh fruits, esp pears. This lovely dish is best served warm, so a special family dinner or an informal dinner party where you can be excused from your guests to manage the finishing touches would be ideal. The recipe source is my "CHOCOLATE" cookbook by Christine McFadden & Christine France. (Have never timed myself fixing this & the prep/cooking times overlap a lot, so times are my best estimate.)

Steps:
- Peel pears (leaving stems attached), scoop out cores from the base & cut a slice from the non-stem end of the pears so they will stand when served. Brush all cut surfaces w/lemon juice to prevent them from browning.
- Put sugar & water in a lrg saucepan. Heat gently till the sugar dissolves. Add pears & the cinnamon stick w/any remaining lemon juice. If necessary, add more water so the pears are almost covered.
- Bring to a boil, lower heat to simmer, cover pan & simmer pears gently for 15-20 min or til they are just tender when pierced w/a skewer.
- While pears are poaching, make sauce. Place cream, sugar, butter, corn syrup & milk in a heavy saucepan. Heat gently till the sugar has dissolved & the butter & syrup have melted. Then bring the sauce to a boil.
- Boil (stirring constantly) for about 5 min or till the sauce is thick. Remove from heat & stir in the chocolate (a few squares at a time) till melted & set aside.
- When pears are finished poaching, remove cinnamon stick, use a slotted spoon to transfer pears to a dish & keep warm.
- Boil poaching liquid rapidly to reduce to a syrup of about 4 tablespoons Then stir the syrup into the chocolate sauce.
- Place pears in individual bowls, pour the sauce evenly over the 6 pears & serve immediately.
- NOTE: If you prefer to do all the prep ahead & serve cold, chill pears well & dip the bottom half of ea pear in the sauce by carefully holding the stem end or by using a fork. You'll get a "true" basket effect doing this. You can also create a scalloped effect by tilting them slightly in the sauce at intervals. If you work fast & want to get more fancy, affix slivered almonds to the edges of the chocolate sauce.
