'Pear' of Halloween ghosts

Place the peeled pears into a saucepan with the apple juice, cinnamon stick and nutmeg.

Simmer gently for 20 mins until pears soften slightly.

Remove from juice and allow to cool. Slice a small slither off the bottom of the pears so that they stand upright.

Continue to reduce the juice for a further 10 minutes (this will be a tasty syrup to serve with the pears).

Carefully make small holes in the pears for the eyes and place into them the redcurrants/cranberries/sultanas.

Use the seeds as teeth and carefully push into the pear in a circular shape.

Place on a plate, squirt liberally with cream and spoon some of the red juice into the ghost's mouths to create a spooky effect!
