Poached pear in grenadine sauce and crème Chantilly.

So good and pretty easy. Recipe from one of the greatest chefs of our day - Jacques Pepin.

Peel and halve 3 pears, remove core with a melon baller. Simmer covered for approx 1 hour in 2c water, 1/3c sugar, lemon juice and 1/3c grenadine (pomegranate, no alcohol) syrup. Cover fruit in pot with paper towel so all exposed pear surfaces are wet during cooking. Test pears for doneness with knife. Remove pears from liquid and reduce liquid by 50%.

Plate pear with syrup, crème Chantilly and a light dusting of cinnamon. Really good!
