- Meanwhile wash and dry the pears. Slice them in two halves and scoop out the seeds.
- Place the pears cut-side down in the pan and simmer for 5 minutes. Turn it around and simmer for another 5 minutes.
- While simmering keep pouring the liquid in the pan over the pears with a spoon to keep it moist.
- Now gently lift the pieces out of the liquid and place it on a plate.
- Remove the cinnamon sticks from the liquid. (Save the stick for plating the pears). Now boil the liquid again until it thickens into a syrup.
