and crumble 3 of the gingerbread slices into the mixture. Cover and
cook for about 30 minutes while stirring regularly to prevent the
pears from sticking. The result should be nicely caramelised pears in
a thick syrup. Turn the faisselles out onto dessert plates and arrange
the warm pears around them. Drizzle the syrup over the plates and
crumble the remaining slice of gingerbread over the top.
