Ingredients

  • Step 1 Place the cherries, espresso, water, sugar, and almond extract into a medium saucepan.
  • Step 2 Peel and quarter the pears and scoop out the cores.
  • Step 3 Place the pears into the saucepan and cover with a piece of parchment paper to keep them submerged.
  • Step 5 Carefully remove the pears with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool.
  • Step 6 Increase the heat to high and boil the sauce for 15-20 minutes, checking it often, until reduced to about 250 ml. Add the kirsch to the reduced sauce and allow it to cool slightly.
  • Step 7 Return the pears to the sauce and stir gently. Serve three pear quarters per person with plenty of sauce and cherries.
  • Step 8 Top with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and more cherries if desired. The pears and sauce will store in the refrigerator for up to three days.
