Mix the arrowroot with a little cold water to a smooth paste, then add to the saucepan with the liquid. Bring to the boil, stirring till the mixture has thickened slightly to a syrup. Pour it over the pears, allow to cool a little, then baste each pear with a good coating of the syrup. Place in the refrigerator to chill thoroughly and serve sprinkled with toasted flaked almonds and whipped cream.
