Try serving these pears with Mascapone Cheese, It is so decadent. My Husband serves a very similar dessert, the only difference is that he uses red wine in place of the Cranberry Juice, everyone adores them and the wine cooks out so even the kids have a taste.

I make this dish often and usually exactly as Carole intended. However tonite I had some left over roasted pumpkin. I cooked the dish to the recipe and sliced my pumpkin and heated the pumpkin in the microwave then layed it over the top of the completed dish. The sweetness from the pumpkin complemented the other ingredients beautifully. Thanks again Carole.

My review is quite different in that I do not want to change the sauce or ingredients. My suggestion is this. Slice your meat in advance, sprinkle with 1/4-1/2 tsp of bicarb, 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp water. mix very well cover and refrigerate. Then continue as the recipe suggests. Awesome!!! Just like best fillet steak.
