Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the pears (4), apple juice (300 ml), and stick (1 cinnamon) into a saucepan. Simmer gently for 20 minutes with a lid on until the fruit is soft, then transfer pears to a plate.

  2. 2

    Remove the cinnamon and simmer the poaching liquid for 10 minutes until it becomes syrupy.

  3. 3

    In a separate small pan, simmer the pomegranate juice (200 ml) for about 10 minutes until thickened into a syrup.

  4. 4

    Stand each pear up by slicing a small piece off the base. Use a skewer to make small holes for blueberries (8 dried) to serve as eyes, and press seeds (16 sunflower) into the flesh to create a scary mouth.

  5. 5

    Drizzle the pomegranate syrup into the ghost mouths, add a splash of apple syrup around the base, and finish with a ground cinnamon (1 pinch).
