Cover with a lid or foil.
Bake for one hour. Every 20 minutes or so spoon the liquid over the pears. Bake until you can pierce the pears.
Spoon the syrup over the cooling pears. Place one pear on a dessert plate. Squirt whipped cream in front and add a few cut strawberries for decoration. Squirt whipped cream around the stem and add mint leaves.
