2 untreated oranges
400 ml dry red wine
125 g Sugar
75 g redcurrant jelly
2 Cloves
3 Star Anise
2 small pieces of cinnamon
4 small, not too ripe pears (400-500 g)
15 g flaked almonds
150 g Whipped cream
2-3 TABLESPOONS Almond liqueur
7-10 Tbsp Mint

Directions

1
Wash the oranges thoroughly and peel the peel from one of them as a thin spiral. Squeeze oranges (approx. 160 ml juice). Bring red wine, orange juice and zest, sugar, redcurrant jelly, cloves, star anise and cinnamon to the boil in a small, tall pot. In the meantime peel the pears, but do not remove the stalks. Place the pears in the hot stock (they should be covered if possible) and cook covered for 25-30 minutes.
2
Remove spices and orange peel and let the pears cool down in the red wine stock. Roast the almonds in a pan without fat and let them cool down. Whip cream until semi-stiff and mix with almond liqueur. Arrange pears with amaretto cream and serve decorated with flaked almonds and mint
