Direction:
- Preheat oven to 180° C/ 160°C (fan forced), grease and line a round flan dish or a lamington tray with baking paper

- Cut each of the pears in half and slice each of the halves vertically leaving a small section uncut near the stem end whole to represent a fan. If using fresh pears, place the 8 fanned pear portions on a microwave dish with 2 tablespoons water. Cover with cling wrap and cook for 1 minute on high.
