We’ve given the classic bellini a festive twist by replacing the peach purée with pear

Ingredients

Pear

1½ medium, 1 peeled, cored and roughly chopped, 1 left whole

Ground cinnamon

¼ tsp(s), level

Fresh lemon juice

1 tsp(s)

Cinnamon sticks

1 item(s)

Vanilla extract

1 tsp(s), level

Prosecco

500 ml(s)

Instructions

  1. Put the diced pear in a small pan with lemon juice, cinnamon and vanilla extract.
  2. Cover with water, bring to a simmer, then cover and cook over a low heat for 10 minutes or until the pear is tender.
  3. Cool then remove the cinnamon and purée the pear using a stick blender. Cover and chill. To serve, divide 4 tbsp of the pear purée between chilled flutes then top up with the prosecco.

Notes

Make a pear crisp garnish by cutting a pear into very thin slices, making a small slit at the base and sprinkling with ground cinnamon. Put on a baking sheet and bake in an oven preheated to 275°F for 40 minutes, turning halfway and sprinkling with more cinnamon.
