How To Make sake poached pears with dark chocolate drizzle

Step 1

Put the water, sake, sugar, star anise, cinnamon, lime zest and juice in a deep pan. Simmer for 5 minutes, then add the pears and lower the heat. Simmer for 45 minutes until the pears are softened. Remove from heat and let cool in the liquid.

Step 2

To make the dark chocolate sauce, place all the ingredients except the lime zest in a saucepan and warm on the stove until the chocolate has melted and the sauce is glossy. Stir in the lime zest.
Step 3

Remove the pears and cut in half. Place one half on each plate and drizzle the sauce over top.
