Step 1
Put 500ml water in a pan with the sugar, cinnamon and ginger. Bring to the boil. Reduce the heat slightly and bubble for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. -
Step 2
Peel the pears, cut in half lengthways and core (leave the stalks on if they are still intact). Put in a bowl and toss in the lemon juice as you go to stop them turning brown. -
Step 3
Transfer the pears to the pan with the sugar syrup, making sure the pan is a size where the syrup can coat the pears completely. Bring to the boil. -
Step 4
Reduce the heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes, until the pears are just tender. Leave them to cool slightly in the syrup. -
Step 5
Stir the honey into the crème fraîche and serve with the pears.
