Baked Pears With Lemon Sauce image

A healthy and delicious fruit dessert. I think I originally got this recipe from the Deaf Smith Country Cook Book. Time for cooking is very approximate (see recipe, step 8).

2 grated lemons, zest of
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup honey
6 fresh firm pears
1/2 cup water
4 -5 whole cloves

Steps:

  • Make lemon sauce ahead of time: Dissolve arrowroot in a little milk; place in a saucepan with rest of milk and cinnamon stick.
  • Stir and cook over low heat, stirring, until slightly thickened.
  • Stir in lemon peel, lemon juice and 1/4 cup of the honey.
  • Remove from heat, remove and discard cinnamon stick, cover and place in refrigerator to chill.

  • Halve and core pears; place in a glass baking dish.
  • In a small saucepan, bring 1/4 cup honey, water and cloves just to boiling point, but do not boil; pour over pears.
  • Bake until pears are fork-tender (time for this varies considerably depending on firmness of pears--really hard ones can take as much as an hour).
  • Remove and discard whole cloves.
  • Serve warm with chilled lemon sauce.
