Pears in Chocolate

Ingredients

Pears  4 (1 per person)

Chocolate 1 cup or 200g

Sugar 1 cup

Method

In a saucepan bring to the boil 2 cups of water and 1 cup of sugar.  Peel the pears and cook them for between 5 and 20 minutes. To see if the pears are cooked, insert a small knife into them.  (Not all the pears may be cooked at the same time.)  Leave them in the liquid to cool.

Place another saucepan on a very low heat and melt the chocolate, then add 1 or 2 tbsp of the cooking liquid.   Whisk vigorously to make the sauce.  The chocolate sauce has to be the consistency of pouring cream.

You can serve with ice cream and cream.
