Another delectable dessert made from pears is called "stuffed pears."
Cut them in two and scoop out the core with a vegetable spoon. Cook
the pears very gently in a little syrup till they are quite tender.
Drain them, and have ready any kind of marmalade into which you have
stirred chopped almonds. Stuff the pears with this and put them
together in their original shape. Have in a dish a thin layer of
boiled rice, over which you have spread a little whipped cream.
Arrange the pears in a circle on the rice, and fill the centre with
the same kind of marmalade as that used for stuffing the pears.
