Pears in Brandy
Description
The recipe won't take much time. The essential condition is that the pears must be ripe, soft, and juicy, because firm, unripe fruits simply won't absorb the cognac-honey syrup and will remain hard. And of course, you should use high-quality alcohol :) Only then will you get the maximum pleasure from this dessert! So, here's how to do it. Serve chilled.
