Ingredients

• 4 whole ripe but firm pears
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons optional garnish: chopped nuts or fresh mint

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash and dry the pears. Cut them in half lengthwise and carefully remove the cores using a melon baller or a small spoon.

Step 3

Arrange the pear halves cut-side up in a baking dish.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat until fully melted. Remove from heat and stir in the honey, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and water until fully combined.

Step 5

Drizzle the honey mixture evenly over the pears, making sure to coat each piece well.

Step 6

Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Roast the pears for 20 minutes covered.

Step 7

Remove the aluminum foil and baste the pears with the juices from the baking dish. Continue roasting, uncovered, for an additional 10 minutes, or until the pears are tender and golden brown.

Step 8

Carefully remove the pears from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Garnish with chopped nuts or fresh mint if desired.
