2. Cover and cook over low heat for about 15 minutes, or just until pears are beginning to soften.

3. Remove from heat. Add liqueur and mix.

4. Transfer to a storage container and refrigerate for 3 hours or up to 3 days.

5. Serve with chocolate sauce.

Variation:

Can use Bartlett pears instead of Bosc.
