1/2 cup Mango pulp:
2 teaspoons Fruit Juice: (I used mango juice and pineapple juice)
Saffron: a pinch
1 teaspoon Orange Rind:
1 teaspoon Lemon Juice:
Cinnamon: a pinch
2 Mint or Basil Leaf: (I used my garden fresh mint)

Peel the pears and slice a bit of the bottom of the pear, so to let it stand upright.
2
Leave the stem intact to insert a mint sprig later, Gently dab some lemon juice over the pear and keep it aside.

In a medium pot make sugar syrup by adding half cup of sugar to one cup of water over medium heat. Let it thicken for a while.

The mango glaze is ready.
6
Submerge the peeled pears into the syrup and let it cook for 15 to 20 minutes on low heat, till the pears are tender and get the amber hue from the mango syrup.
7
The pears should be completely immersed in the syrup.
8

I did it with mint from my pot. Drizzle some syrup over the top of the pear.
