Method
5 steps- 1Simmer the water, sugar, honey, spices and saffron on medium heat for 5 minutes.
- 2Peel the pears, keep the stalks, slice a thin piece off each base and toss in the lemon juice.
- 3Lower the pears into the syrup. Cover and poach at a gentle simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, turning once.
- 4Lift out the pears. Steep the green tea in 100 ml of syrup off the heat for 3 minutes, strain back in, then boil 10 minutes to reduce by two thirds.
- 5Whisk the crème fraîche with the cardamom powder. Serve each pear with syrup, a spoon of cream and toasted almonds.
Serve it like this
