directions

  • Peel pear, halve it lengthways and remove the seeds with a melon baller. Use a small, sharp knife to neatly remove the hard core leading to the stem.
  • Put the pear, cut side down, in a small saucepan with the orange juice, cover and bring to simmering point then cook gently for 8-10 minutes, just until tender, turning the halves over after 5 mins and spooning some of the juice over them.
  • Leave to cool in the juice. Peel the mandarin, divide into segments and remove the membrane covering each segment.
  • Put pear half in each bowl and spoon pan juices over. arrange mandarin segments around and decorate with a mint sprig.
  • Serve chilled or at room temperature.

My fiance & I have lived in Melbourne all our lives and we love it, it's so diverse & exciting. We went on a world trip in '04-'05 including the US, UK, France, Italy, Malta, Germany, The Netherlands, Egypt, India & Japan. It was awesome, but great to get home & relax too. :) The link on this page will take you to my YouTube channel which has slide-show videos of my pics, featuring some amazing street art around Melbourne. I think it's rude to leave 1 star ratings! To me it's like eating someones cooking then saying "ERGH!" to their face!! :D So we don't give 1 star ratings. If we really don't like something, then it's no stars & a description of why it didn't live up to our expectations, or we may just remove the recipe from our cookbook & leave it at that. We like cross-promoting recipes in our reviews, to share combinations that work, recipes that inspire & methods people may not have thought of. We can't help but put something of ourselves into each recipe we try <img src=http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegn%20swap/vegnswap.jpg> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket">
