Description

Warm Honey Baked Pears made with honey, cinnamon, vanilla and a little butter. Serve with Crème Fraîche or ice cream and a sprinkle of granola for crunch.

Ingredients:

4 Ripe but firm pears
½ Cup Honey
2 Tbsp Butter melted
½ tsp Ground Cinnamon
1 tsp Vanilla paste, extract, or the seeds of one vanilla pod

Optional Toppings:

Granola
Crème Fraîche/ Ice Cream / Greek Yoghurt

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 180°C
I use 1 pear (two halves) per person
Cut the pears in half, then remove the core and seeds with a melon baller or measuring spoon. I don't peel the pears but you can if you wish. Slice a small piece off the back of each pear half to help them lie flat
Place the pears cut side up in an oven dish
Sprinkle the cinnamon over the pears
Melt the butter. If using a vanilla pod, cut it in half length ways and scrape out the seeds with the back of a knife. Set the pod aside to add while baking. Mix the honey, melted butter and vanilla in a jug
If using a vanilla pod, place it on top of the cinnamon sprinkled pears. Then pour the honey, butter, vanilla mixture evenly over the top of the pears
Bake the pears for 20 – 25 minutes, then turn them over and bake for an additional 20 – 25 minutes until tender
Note: A knife should easily pierce the pears but they should not fall apart
Serve warm, spooning over the leftover honey sauce. Then add a dollop of Crème Fraîche, ice cream, or yogurt and sprinkle with your favourite granola or toasted nuts
