Pear Compote with Marzipan

For the pear compote with marzipan, peel the pears and cut them into small pieces.

Put the pear pieces in a saucepan with water and white wine together with sugar and cinnamon and cook until done.

Bind with a little wheat starch and add a piece of marzipan.

Form the remaining marzipan into balls and roll in cocoa. Garnish the pear compote with marzipan with amaretti cookies and a mint leaf.
