Ingredients:

Serving

8 pears ( anjou or bartlett are best)
4 cups
1/2 cup sugar
1 tbsp whole black peppercorns
1 tbsp orange
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup bittersweet chocolate chips

Directions:

Peel pears and core from the bottom, leaving stems intact.
Mix red wine, sugar, peppercorns and orange zest in a saucepan just large enough to fit the pears into it, then place pears upright in the poaching liquid.
Bring just barely to a boil, and then reduce to simmer.
Partially cover and simmer until soft, about 1 hour.
Remove from heat and allow pears to cool in the poaching liquid.
-
Just before serving, heat cream over medium-high heat in a small saucepan until just barely bubbling around the edges.
Remove from heat and stir in chocolate until completely melted.
To serve, drizzle chocolate sauce on a dessert plate and set a poached pear in the center.
Garnish with mint leaves if desired.
