How To Make poires belle hÉlÈne

• 1

  In a medium saucepan tall enough to hold the pears upright, add sugar, water and orange juice. Turn the heat on medium-high, stir until the sugar is dissolved and bring the mixture to a boil.
• 2

  Reduce to medium-low and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
• 3

  Place the pears that have been cored in the simmering mixture, cover and poach them gently for 25 to 30 minutes or until just cooked through – to know when they’re done is by pricking with the tip of a paring knife.
• 4

  Remove from the heat and let them cool off at room temperature in the syrup, uncovered.
• 5

  Meanwhile, make the chocolate sauce.
• 6

  When time to serve, drain pears and place them upright individually in serving plates or bowls. Drizzle on a generous amount of chocolate sauce over the poached pears, add a couple scoops of vanilla ice cream or crème Chantilly and serve immediately.
