Simple, fast and beautiful. I like to serve this on a large red soup dish, giving it a dramatic look If you like nuts, add some toasted pecans as garnish.

cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon
nutmeg 1/8 teaspoon (preferably fresh)
ginger 1 tablespoon fresh grated or 1/2 teaspoon ground

chocolate enough to shave on each serving
• Heat sauté pan with butter
• Scrape the meat from the vanilla bean into the butter
• Add pears and all the spices and sauté until tender — 5 minutes
