Step 2 of 5
Place 1/4 cup boiling water in a heatproof jug. Sprinkle gelatine over water, then whisk until gelatine dissolves. Cool slightly. Stir cooled gelatine mixture into cooled cream mixture until combined. Pour into prepared dish. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or until set.

Cool pears completely in syrup, then refrigerate until required.
