Preheat the oven to 250 oF / 130 oC.

Pour this over the pears, cover the casserole and bake very slowly for

When the pears are cooked, transfer them to a serving bowl and cool.
Pour the liquid into a saucepan, discarding the vanilla pod and cinnamon

Mix the arrowroot with a little cold water to a smooth paste, then add to
the saucepan with the liquid. Bring to the boil, stirring till the mixture
has thickened slightly to a syrup.
Pour it over the pears, allow to cool a little, then baste each pear with a
good coating of the syrup.
Place in the refrigerator to chill thoroughly and serve sprinkled with
toasted flaked almonds and whipped cream.
