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.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pears turned out mushy. Maybe I baked them for too long.

The pears were a bit bland. I think I'll add some spices next time.

I found that the pears took longer to bake than the recipe stated. I had to keep them in the oven for an extra 15 minutes.

Easy to make and incredibly delicious. The pears were beautifully caramelized and the currants added a nice tartness. Will definitely make this again.

These baked pears were an absolute delight! The combination of sweet pears, tangy currants, and warm cinnamon was heavenly. I loved the contrast between the soft, juicy pears and the crunchy currants. The pears were perfectly baked, tender but still
