Peras estofadas

Peras estofadas is a traditional dessert originating from Málaga. It’s made with a combination of firm pears, lemon juice and zest, cinnamon, sweet wine, honey, water, and toasted almonds. The pears are peeled, placed in a saucepan, and sprinkled with lemon juice. The syrup is made with lemon zest, honey, sweet wine, water, and cinnamon. It’s poured over the pears and brought to a boil, and the pears are then left to cool in the syrup. They’re typically served in glass dishes, and each stalk is often replaced with a toasted almond for a nice visual presentation.
