Chocolate sauce
- 4tablespoons chocolate and hazelnut spread
- 2tablespoons double cream
- 2tablespoons milk
- 1 1/4 cup cloudy apple juice
- 3tablespoons caster sugar
- 1 large pinch saffron threads
- 4 cardamom pods, roughly crushed
- 4 firm ripe pears
Method
Step 1 of 3
Preheat the slow cooker if necessary. Pour the apple juice into a small saucepan, add the sugar, saffron and cardamom pods and their tiny black seeds. Bring to the boil, then tip into the slow cooker pot.
Step 2 of 3
Cut each pear in half lengthways, leaving the stalk on, then cut away the skin. Remove the pear cores with a melon baller, if you have one, or a teaspoon. Add the pears to the slow cooker pot, pressing them beneath the surface of the liquid as much as you can. Cover with the lid and cook on low for 3-4 hours or until the pears are tender and pale yellow.
Step 3 of 3
When ready to serve, put all the ingredients for the sauce into a small saucepan and warm together, stirring until smooth. Spoon the pears and some of the saffron sauce into shallow dishes, pour the chocolate sauce into a small jug and allow dinner guests to drizzle the sauce over the pears just before eating. Complete with a spoonful of ice cream or crème fraîche, if liked.
