3. Whisk the egg white, cream of tartar and 1 tablespoon of sugar until the mixture peaks, then whisk in the remaining sugar and lemon zest. Keep whisking until the mixture peaks again.
4. Peel the pear and place on an ovenproof plate. Spread the meringue all over the pear and onto the plate, drawing the meringue into peaks.
5. Bake in a preheated oven, Gas Mark 6, 200°C, 400°F for 10 - 12 minutes. Lay the ovenproof dish and pear on a larger plate and serve.
