Poached Pears
From the kitchen of a friend
6 small fresh pears
2 cups pineapple juice
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp water
Grated, unsweetened chocolate (optional, garnish)
Peel pears, leaving stems intact. In a large saucepan, stir together pineapple juice and nutmeg. Arrange pears in pineapple juice. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until tender (approx 30 minutes), stirring occasionally.
Drain pears and reserve sauce. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth. Over medium heat, bring sauce to a boil and add cornstarch mixture, stirring constantly; boil 1 minute.
Arrange pears in individual serving dishes and pour juice over pears.
Cover and refrigerate until well chilled. Just before serving, garnish with chocolate.
Makes 6 servings.
