Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pears (ripe but firm, such as Bosc or Anjou)
• 2 cups Seedless red or black grapes
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or pecans)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash the pears and grapes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Cut each pear in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds using a spoon or melon baller. Optionally, trim the core and stem as needed.

Step 4

In a small mixing bowl, combine honey, melted butter, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix well to form a basting mixture.

Step 5

Place the pear halves, cut side up, in a large baking dish. Scatter the grapes around the pears.

Step 6

Brush each pear half generously with the honey-butter mixture, ensuring even coating. Drizzle the remaining mixture over the grapes.

Step 7

Place the baking dish in the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the pears are tender and the grapes are lightly caramelized. Baste the pears with the juices from the bottom of the dish halfway through cooking.

Step 8

Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the fruit cool slightly. If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts over the top for added crunch.

Step 9

Serve warm as a dessert with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, or as a side dish with roasted meats.
