Ingredients

Servings: 4

2 untreated oranges
400 ml Red wine
100-125 g Sugar
75 g red
7-10 Tbsp Currant Jelly
2 Cloves
3 star anise, 1 cinnamon stick
4 small, not too ripe pears (400-500 g)
1 TABLESPOON flaked almonds
150 g Whipped cream
2-3 TABLESPOONS Amaretto liqueur
7-10 Tbsp Mint

Directions

1
Wash the oranges thoroughly. Peel the peel of one orange as a spiral. Squeeze out all the juice, measure out approx. 160 ml
2
Boil wine, sugar, orange peel, orange juice, jelly and spices
3
In the meantime peel the pears, leaving the stalks standing. Place them in the hot stock (they should be covered if possible) and let them stand covered for 25-30 minutes. Leave to cool in the stock. Roast the almonds and let them cool down
4
Whip the cream until half stiff. Stir in liqueur. Drain the pears. Serve with amaretto cream. Sprinkle with almonds. Decorate with mint if desired.
5
Thus the spiced wine becomes a delicious jelly: sieve the stock, possibly sweeten it. Soak 5-6 sheets of gelatine, dissolve in warm stock. Chill for at least 5 hours. Served with: vanilla sauce
