A very easy recipe, and here’s the proof. Place the pears upright in a large pan, with the figs, walnuts and raisins between them. |
|
Slowly pour in the wine and sprinkle with the spices. Simmer at low heat for at least one hour, until the wine has reduced by ⅔. Leave to cool.
|
|
Before serving, warm slightly till tepid. Put 3-4 spoonfuls of syrup in the bowl, 2 pears, 2 figs some walnuts and raisins.
|
|
Complete the dessert with a scoop of your favourite ice cream. I prefer kaimaki (cream with mastic), which goes very well.
