A light dessert of an almond mixture and honeyed pears
Peel the pears, cut into quarters and remove the cores. Place the quarters into a saucepan, add the honey, turmeric and 500 ml of water. Cover and cook for 20 minutes over a gentle heat.
Meanwhile, beat the softened butter with the sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time and then the powdered almonds, until you have a smooth paste. Lightly butter a 1 litre capacity cake tin and add the drained pears and the almond paste in layers; it should make 2 layers of each, start with the pears so when it is turned out the pears are on top. Cook the dessert in a Bain-Marie (I use a roasting tin half filled with water into which I place the cake tin) for 50 minutes in an oven preheated to 180 oC. Protect after 20 minutes to prevent from over-browning. Allow to cool in the tin and then refrigerate for 12 hours to "set". Actually, you can eat it as soon as it is cool but it is better refrigerated.
