2. Warm the wine and honey together and bring just to the boil. Blend together the corn flour and water and pour on the hot liquid, stirring.

3. Return to the pan, bring to the boil and cook for 2 minutes, stirring. Stir in the passion fruit pulp and simmer for a further minute.

4. Spike with lemon juice, if necessary. Spoon the sauce over the pears and leave to cool so the flavors mingle. Chill before serving with Viennese Fingers.
