Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

10 ripe but firm Comice or Anjou pears, unpeeled
2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2/3 cup dried currants
2/3 cup (or more) water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Using apple corer, cut through stem of each pear and all the way through pear to base to remove core. Trim bottoms so that pears stand straight. Arrange pears in 15x10x2-inch glass baking dish. Combine sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon in medium bowl. Add currants. Fill pear cavities with half of sugar mixture. Stir cup water into remaining sugar mixture; pour around pears. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover; chill.)
  • Bake pears uncovered until tender and sauce is syrupy, adding more water to dish by 1/4 cupfuls if syrup becomes too thick and basting occasionally, about 50 minutes. Serve pears warm with syrup.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, firm pears for the best texture and flavor.
  • If you don't have currants, you can substitute raisins, chopped dried cherries, or cranberries.
  • Adjust the amount of sugar and cinnamon to your taste. For a sweeter filling, use up to 1/4 cup of sugar. For a more pronounced cinnamon flavor, use up to 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
  • If you want a crispy topping, use a mixture of oats and flour. For a more crumbly topping, use a mixture of butter, flour, and sugar.
  • Bake the pears until they are tender when pierced with a knife, but not mushy. The baking time will vary depending on the size and ripeness of the pears.

Conclusion:

Baked pears with currants and cinnamon is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of sweet pears, tart currants, and warm cinnamon is irresistible. Serve baked pears with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a truly indulgent treat.
