  • Total Time: 1 Hour Active Time:15 Minutes Serves: 4 1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. 2. Cut a small slice off the pears' bottoms so they stand upright. 3. Grease a small baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter. Rub remaining butter over pears, coating each in a thin layer. 4. Arrange pears evenly in the baking dish and sprinkle sugar over top.

I've never made baked pears before, but this recipe made it easy. The pears turned out great and the sauce was delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pears turned out mushy. The flavor was good, but the texture was off.
