Citrus Caramalised Roasted Pears is another of my lush deserts.  This is really simple to put together. I love the syrup becomes slightly crystalised and infused with the citrus and spices. It makes a great round off to an evening’s dinner.

What to do next

Tag me on @ethiveganquantum on Instagram to show me what you’ve made and let me know you’re happy for me to share.

My recipes are featured in vegan speciality publications: Nourished, Vegan Life, Plant Based and Vegan, Food and Living.

Order my first self-published book, “Essence: The Beginner’s Guide to Veganism” part of the three-part Circle of Food series. My second book “Presence: The Ascending Vegan” – which explores how to maintain a vegan practice is out in 2027 – I have compiled all the chapters including recipes.

Going strong since 2013.

Love.

  • 150g raw unrefined sugar
  • 75ml water

  • 1 cinnamon stick

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius or if you have a convention oven to 160 degrees Celsius.
  2. Shave about 4 long strips of lemon and orange. Slice a knife through the cardamon pods but leave them intact.
  3. In a sauce pan melt the sugar in water. Add in the lemon and orange strips, cardamon pods and lemon stick. Switch off the head and add in the olive oil.
  4. Peel the pears and cut in half. Core and place them core side down into a baking tray. Baste over the syrup.
  5. Place in the oven for 1 hour, basting every 15 minutes or so.
