Poached pears.

Fresh pear halves, poached in spiced red wine (cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, rosemary and black pepper), on a bed of baked custard, drizzled with a red wine caramel and sprinkled with rosemary and black pepper. We all thought it was delicious, although the caramel got a bit hard to control the more it cooled. I still liked it, though.
