--------  ------------  --------------------------------
 12                    Pears
  1       lb           Honey
  1                    Lemon, juice
 20       fl           Water (plus)

 Preheat oven to 325 F (160 C).
 Peel halve and core the pears, keeping them in water
 which you have acidulated with half the lemon juice.
 Dissolve the honey in the water, add the other half of
 the lemon juice and bring to the boil. Transfer to an
 oven proof dish or pan large enough to keep the pear
 halves in one layer.

 Add the drained pear halves and bring back to the
 boil. Immediately transfer the dish to the oven and
 poach until the pears are really tender. Remove with
 slotted spoon, boil down cooking liquor to a syrup and
 pour over the pears. Leave to cool then chill. Serve
 with the thickest cream you can find.
