I left out the sugar as she recommended and added honey instead.
I also left out the cinnamon as I wasn't sure how this would combine with the other spices, and used bigger quantities of those.

2 star anise
5 pieces of cardamom
2 tsp honey
Peel the pears, remove stalks and cores, and cut them in pieces.
Put them in a pan with a bit of water (they should not be completely covered) with spices and honey. Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for 45 min.

Did you like them? Would they go in a pie with pumpkin? What would, instead of cheese?
They were delicious! The sugar wasn't needed, the honey gave a very delicate sweet taste. I especially loved the star anise, it makes the dish taste of pastis ;-)
Do you want a sweet or savoury pumpkin pie? I've already posted two sweet recipes.
