Taste was nice, but pears fell apart. I could not core a pear without cutting it in half, so my pear did not look anything like the photograph. Would not try this for guests without testing it...

This is so simple and yet elegant. Wonderful flavor, would make a nice company meal dessert served in champaine glasses. I will make again.
