Masked Pears

Ingredients

• 6 stewing pears
• 3/4 pint water
• 1 egg
• 6 tablespoons bread crumbs
• 24 lumps sugar
• 1 inch cinnamon stick
• jam
• 1/2 ounce butter

Instructions

Make a syrup of the sugar and water, peel and hollow the pears (which must remain whole), place them in the syrup, and stew gently one hour or until tender; lift them out very carefully on to a plate and allow to cool. Fill them with jam, roll in egg and bread crumbs, place in a buttered dish, and bake for about twenty minutes. In the meantime, place the cinnamon in the syrup and boil until it is reduced, place the pears in a pretty dish, pour the syrup over them through a strainer, and allow to cool.
