Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until pears are tender, turning several times. Remove pears and set aside.

  3. For chocolate sauce, in a small heavy saucepan over low heat, heat the chocolate, cream and butter until chocolate is melted; stir until smooth. Spoon pear syrup into dessert dishes; place a pear in each dish and drizzle with chocolate sauce. Garnish with orange peel if desired. Yield: 8 servings.
