Preparation

Goat Cheese Bricks
Separate the spring roll pastries and roll them out with the point towards you.
Put some goat cheese in the middle of each one.
Combine the water and flour to make a "glue" and apply it to the upper tip of the pastry.
Bring the lower tip up onto the cheese in the middle.
Then bring the left and right tips to the center of the roll and roll up to  the upper tip. Make sure the glue on the tip sticks to the rest of the roll.
Keep in the refrigerator.
Candied Pears
In a saucepan, add the water, sugar and wine over medium-high heat.
Add the pears and cook about 15 minutes (The tip of a knife inserted into the flesh should come easily.)
Drain and let cool in the refrigerator.
Honey Caramel
In a small saucepan, heat the honey over high heat. Add the cloves and stir well. When the cloves start to fume and the honey starts to caramelize, remove from heat and pour into a small bowl.
To Serve
Drop the goat cheese bricks 1 1/2 minute in frying oil until the batter is lightly colored or put in the oven 5 minutes at 400ºF (200ºC). Cut the bricks in two and put them on individual plates.
Garnish with candied pears, add a few oak leaves and cloves to decorate and finish with a spoonful of honey caramel.
This dish can be served as an entrée or after the
main course with a few shoots of corn salad.
