Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Peel, core and halve the pears. Toss them with the lemon juice.

  2. Step 2

    Bring the water and sugar to a boil in a saucepan. When the sugar has dissolved, add the pears, lower the heat and simmer until the pears are just tender, about 10 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Drain the pears, transfer them to a shallow serving dish and pour the sherry over them. Turn them in the sherry once or twice. Serve the pears while they are still warm.
