Remove from the heat and scrape seeds from the vanilla bean into the thickened mixture, adding the remaining cup of cream.

Add the corn syrup and 3 cups of pear puree to the custard and whisk until blended. Cool to room temperature then transfer to an ice-cream machine and follow manufacturer's instructions. Alternatively, pour the mixture into a stainless steel bowl and freeze, stirring thoroughly every hour for four hours. Allow to freeze.

Add the pears and simmer until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove the pears from the liquid and scrape the vanilla seeds from the bean into the syrup. Boil the liquid until it becomes syrupy. Pour over the pears and cool. To serve, scoop the ice-cream into dessert dishes and add some stewed pears and syrup.
