- In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add the orange juice, sugar and honey. Bring to a boil then lower the heat and cook until it reduces and becomes slightly thick, about 10 minutes. Pour 1 teaspoon of syrup over each cup and allow it to soak in, then repeat with another teaspoon.

BAKED PEARS WITH SAUTERNES CUSTARD SAUCE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Peel pears, leaving stems intact, then core from bottom using a melon-ball cutter or a sharp small knife. Stir together raisins, brown sugar, zests, and 2 tablespoons Sauternes and fill pear cavities with mixture. Stand pears upright in a buttered baking dish just large enough to hold them and pour remaining cup Sauternes over pears.
- Cover dish tightly with foil and bake in middle of oven until tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer pears to a serving dish or plates using a metal spatula to hold filling in place and pour cooking liquid through a sieve into a bowl.
- Whisk together yolks and granulated sugar in a large metal bowl and add hot cooking liquid in a stream, whisking constantly. Put bowl over a pan of barely simmering water and vigorously whisk, or beat with a handheld electric mixer, until mixture is tripled in volume and registers 160°F on an instant-read thermometer, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Serve pears warm with sauce.
Tips:
- Choose the right pears: Use firm, ripe pears that are not too soft or mushy. Bosc, Anjou, or Bartlett pears are all good choices.
- Peel the pears if desired: You can peel the pears before baking them, but it is not necessary. If you do peel them, be sure to remove the core and stem first.
- Use a variety of spices:Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all classic spices that pair well with pears. You can also add other spices, such as cardamom or cloves, to taste.
- Sweeten the pears to taste: The amount of sugar or honey you add will depend on the sweetness of your pears. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Bake the pears until they are tender: The baking time will vary depending on the size and ripeness of your pears. Check them frequently with a toothpick or skewer to make sure they are done.
Conclusion:
Baked pears with raisins is a delicious and easy dessert that can be enjoyed year-round. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both elegant and comforting. Serve baked pears with a dollop of whipped cream, ice cream, or yogurt for a truly special treat.
