Ingredients

• 4 whole Pears (firm, ripe, such as Bosc or Anjou)
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0 Optional toppings (e.g., vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, chopped nuts)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium heat (approximately 375°F/190°C). For an indoor option, heat a grill pan on the stovetop over medium heat.

Step 2

Wash and dry the pears. Cut each pear in half lengthwise and remove the core using a melon baller or a small spoon. If desired, trim a small slice off the rounded side of each pear half to help them lay flat on the grill.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, ground cinnamon, melted butter, and vanilla extract to create the glaze.

Step 4

Brush the cut side of each pear half generously with the glaze.

Step 5

Place the pears on the preheated grill, cut side down. Close the grill lid and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until grill marks form and the pears begin to soften slightly.

Step 6

Flip the pears and brush the rounded side with the remaining glaze. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, with the grill lid closed, until the pears are tender but still hold their shape.

Step 7

Remove the grilled pears from the grill and let them cool slightly.

Step 8

Serve warm, topped with your choice of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a sprinkling of chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
