Instruction
- For caramel pears, melt butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add pears and icing sugar and cook, tossing occasionally, until pears are caramelised and tender (10-12 minutes). Deglaze pan with dessert wine, stir in juice and set aside.
- When pears are almost cooked, stir milk, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon in a saucepan over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves, then bring to the simmer, add semolina in a steady stream and cook, whisking continuously, until thick and smooth (5-6 minutes). Remove from heat, whisk in butter, then serve pudding hot topped with caramel pears and their syrup and hazelnuts.
