Chocolate-Covered Pears 

INGREDIENTS

4 fresh pears 2 cups orange juice

1/2 cup white sugar

4 (1 ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). 
  2. Place pears in a small ovenproof pan. Mix orange juice with 1/4 cup sugar and pour over pears.
  3. Cook in preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes; occasionally turn and sprinkle remaining sugar over pears. Remove pears from oven when soft and let cool.
  4. Pour orange juice mixture into a medium saucepan and simmer over medium heat until mixture thickens to the consistency of cream; remove from heat.
  5. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt chocolate. Add a few tablespoons of hot milk if the chocolate becomes too thick to stir.
  6. Put each pear in a small bowl. Pour the creamy orange sauce over each pear, then drizzle chocolate on top; serve warm.
