- Meanwhile, peel the pears, cut them in half and remove the seeds;
- Heat a pan with the remaining margarine and the ‘Rocha’ Pear Extra Jam with ‘Douro’ Muscatel. When it starts to carahoneyize, sprinkle with the Port wine and, if necessary, with a little water;
- Cover the skillet and cook, turning the pears until they are tender;
- Remove the meat from the pan, strain the sauce and, if necessary, boil it a little to refine;
- Serve the sliced meat with the carahoneyized pears and the sauce on the side in the gravy boat
