Categories     Dessert     Pear

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 large ripe pears, such as Bosc, Anjou or Bartlett
1/2 cup apple juice
1/4 cup honey
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
1/4 cup butter or margarine

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°. Lightly butter a 9-inch Pyrex pie pan. Cut each pear lengthwise into quarters and remove the core. Place the pears skin side up in the pie pan. In a medium bowl, combine the apple juice and honey. If you like, stir in the ginger, and/or cinnamon. Mix well and pour evenly over the pears. Dot with the butter or margarine. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes; then uncover and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the pears are tender. Transfer the pears to a platter and pour their sauce into a small saucepan. Cook on high heat for about 10 minutes, until reduced by half and somewhat caramelized. Drizzle the syrupy sauce on the pears. Serve 2-3 pieces to each person, warm or at room temperature. Notes: ***If stored in the refrigerator, reheat briefly in a microwave or conventional oven until the butter is melted, then serve.
