Poached Orange Pears

Submitted by: Edna Lee 
These pears are very simple to prepare, but so elegant, assures Edna Lee of Greeley, Colorado. I love to serve them when fresh raspberries are in season. They make a beautiful presentation for special occasions and are always well liked by both young and old. TIP: I've occasionally used home-canned pear halves and no one ever knows the difference, Edna says.

This golden, glossy delight could not be easier to make. All major varieties of pears - Bartlett, Bosc, red, Anjou - work equally well. However, Bosc roasts up slightly firmer than the others.

Luscious ripe pears are slowly baked in a sweet bath of orange juice and sugar, then served with their own orange sauce and a drizzle of melted chocolate. For best presentation choose firm pears, do not remove the stem, and core the pear from the bottom.
