Slice pear in half through the core, then in half again long ways. Now slice the 2 quarters long ways into 1cm thick half-moon slices.
-
Place the pear slices in a small sauce pan with the water and 1 tsp honey. Give them a gentle stir and then simmer on a med high heat until the pears are soft and the water has reduced. About 5 minutes.
-
While the pears are poaching, place the pecans in a saucepan and toast on a med high heat, stirring occasionally until they are darker brown and toasted.
-
When the pears are soft but firm enough to hold their shape, take them out of the pear water and place on a plate. Add the remaining tsp of honey to the water and simmer to reduce the glaze - about 1 minute. Take off the heat and pour a little into a small bowl and with the cornflour, stirring until it dissolves, pour back into the pear water and boil until it thickens. If it gets too thick add a little bit of water. Leave to cool.

Place cream cheese on a serving platter, pour over the cool glaze, top with pears and pecans and serve with crackers.
