Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
8 firm but ripe Bartlett pears, peeled, halved, cored
1 cup packed golden brown sugar
3 teaspoons ground ginger
6 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter
1 quart vanilla frozen yogurt
Fresh mint sprigs (optional)
Lemon peel strips (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray 2 large ovenproof skillets with oil spray. Arrange half of pears cut side down in each skillet. Sprinkle 1/2 cup sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons ginger over pears in each skillet. Mix honey, lemon juice and peel in small bowl. Drizzle over pears. Dot pears in each skillet with 3 tablespoons butter.
  • Place skillets with pears in oven. Bake until juices bubble thickly and pears are tender when pierced with small sharp knife, basting occasionally, about 15 minutes. Turn pears over. Bake 5 minutes longer. Remove pears from oven. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool. Transfer pears and cooking syrup to large glass baking dish; cover and chill. Rewarm uncovered in 375°F. oven 15 minutes before continuing.)
  • Arrange 2 pear halves on each of 8 plates. Transfer cooking syrup to 1 large skillet. Bring syrup to simmer, whisk in 4 tablespoons butter. Spoon over pears. Place 1 scoop yogurt alongside. Garnish with mint and lemon peel, if desired.

These were delicious! I used Bosc pears and they were perfectly tender. The honey and ginger glaze was a perfect complement to the pears.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The pears come out perfectly tender and the glaze is to die for. I like to add a sprinkle of cinnamon before baking for an extra bit of flavor.

These baked pears were a delightful treat! The honey and ginger glaze was the perfect complement to the sweet and juicy pears. I served them with a dollop of vanilla ice cream and it was a match made in heaven.
