      4    Pears
      1 l  Water
    250 g  Sugar
      1    Cinnamon stick

      2    Star anise
      5    Whole cloves
           Lemon peel
 
  Peel the pears, leaving the stem on. Cut off the bottom
  so they can stand when plating
  
  Place all the ingredients except the pears in a saucepan
  and bring to a boil
  
  Add pears to the saucepan and reduce to a simmer. Poach
  for about 45 minutes or until the pears are soft
  
  Let the pears cool down. Meanwhile, boil the syrup until
  it reduces and thickens to a glaze
  
  Serve the pears warm or cold with syrup and some cream,
  or even better, with creme anglaise!
