Poached Pears with mixed seed praline

Serves 4

4 firm, ripe pears
PnP orange juice
Water
1 Cinnamon stick
2 star anise

Praline
1 cup mixed seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, linseed, sesame seed)
Allspice (optional)
2 cups sugar


Peel, halve and core the pears
Place into a pot and cover with orange juice. Add a splash of water and spices.
Bring to the boil, cover then reduce and simmer until tender.
For the praline, toss the seeds with the allspice (its very strong so don’t use too much).
Spread the seeds in a single layer on a greased baking sheet.
Heat sugar to dissolve, cook until golden brown. Pour the caramel over the seeds.
Allow to set.

Serve pears with praline shards.
