Serving Ideas : For an elegant dessert, place each pear upright on a pretty

dessert plate. Spoon the sauce around the pear, and sprinkle with chopped

toasted nuts or coconut. Spoon a big dollop of soft whipped cream alongside the

pear, and garnish the plate with a twisted orange slice.

 

NOTES :

For a honey of a pear, use 1/4 cup honey instead of the maple syrup for a sweet

change of pace.
