Method

Heat the oven to 200C, gas 6. Unroll the puff pastry, then pressing gently, run a knife around the edge of the rectangle to create a 1½cm border.
Finely chop the stem ginger and mix with the syrup, caramel spread, cinnamon, cornflour, lemon juice and the pear slices.
Arrange the pear slices on the pastry, inside the border, and pour over any extra caramel sauce. Cook for 25-30 mins, brushing the pastry with the egg after 15 mins. Serve with ice cream.
