How To Make poached pears with white chocolate and raspberries

• Step 1
  Peel the pears, leaving the stems intact. Trim the bottoms of the pears so the pears will stand upright.
• Step 2
  Combine the orange juice and the next 4 ingredients in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Add the pears, standing them upright; cover, reduce heat and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes or until the pears are tender, basting often with orange juice mixture.
• Step 3
  Remove from the heat. Drain the pears on paper towels.
• Step 4
  Combine the chocolate and milk in the top of a double boiler; bring the water to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cook until the chocolate melts, stirring occasionally.
• Step 5
  Spoon the white chocolate sauce evenly onto 8 dessert plates. Place the pears on the sauce.
• Step 6
  Sprinkle the raspberries over the sauce. Garnish with mint sprigs, if desired.
