Honeyed pears

  Use a slotted spoon to remove the pears from the saucepan and place in a dish. Add the lemon juice to the sauternes syrup and then strain the syrup over the pears.

  To serve, remove the pear halves from the syrup with a slotted spoon and place 2 pear halves in each serving bowl with the Fruche. Combine sugar and ground cinnamon and sprinkle over the top. Spoon a little of the sauternes syrup around the pears and serve.
