Preparation

Place the water, sugar and vanilla bean in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the pears. Cover with a piece of wax or baking paper and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of your pears. Heat the single cream in a saucepan, remove and add the chocolate. Stir until the chocolate has melted. Allow to cool slightly. To serve, spoon some double cream into a bowl, top with a poached pear and the warm chocolate sauce. Serves 4. *To stop the pears from discolouring after peeling, place them in a bowl of water with a juiced lemon.
