The flavours in this dish remind me of Christmas, and for that reason it would be a nice desert around the holidays, but we like it any time of year. It's easily doubled to serve more people.

Steps:
- Core and halve the pears.
- Place them face down in a greased baking dish.
- Whisk together the orange juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, cloves, sugar and water.
- Pour over the pears.
- Sprinkle over the raisins.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminium foil and bake in a 425 F or 220 C oven for 25 minutes.
- This is the time needed to bake fairly hard pears, so if yours are soft you may be able to take them out after 10-15 minutes.
- Take the dish out of the oven.
- Using a spoon, scoop up any juice on the bottom of the pan and drizzle it over the pears.
- Sprinkle over the brown sugar.
- Turn on the top element of the oven and put the pears back in the oven for a couple minutes until they start to brown on top.
- Remove from the oven.
- Divide between two bowls and serve topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Steps:
- Mix together 1/2 cup brown sugar, honey, juice and zest of 1 orange, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, chili flakes, and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat for the sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and bring sauce to a very low simmer. Simmer for about 5 minutes, then remove from heat and allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine 3/4 cup walnuts, 3/4 cup pecans, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a food processor. Pulse until finely ground, 15 to 20 seconds.
- Heat a skillet over to medium-high heat and melt coconut oil. Chop remaining 1/4 cup walnuts and pecans. Add chopped nuts and oats to the hot oil. Toast, stirring frequently, for 1 minute. Add ground nut mixture and mix until combined. Allow to toast until sugar begins to melt, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in honey and vanilla extract. Remove from heat and allow to cool in the skillet, mixing a couple times as it cools.
- Bring water to a boil in a large pot, add tea bags, remove from heat, cover, and brew tea for 8 minutes. Remove tea bags and discard. Stir 1/4 cup brown sugar into chai.
- Bring tea/water to a boil again over high heat, add pears, reduce heat, and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. Gently rotate pears with a spoon (pears will be soft - you don't want to puncture the skin) and continue to simmer another 15 minutes. For a stronger spice flavor, leave pears soaking in the chai for an additional 10 to 15 minutes with the heat off.
- To serve, place a heaping spoonful of coconut yogurt into the hole of the pear. Top with granola and drizzle with orange sauce. Garnish with orange zest.
