This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pears. I had a few pears that were starting to get soft, and this recipe was a great way to use them up.

I've made this recipe twice now and it's always a hit! The first time I made it, I used regular pears, but the second time I used bosc pears and they were even better. The bosc pears are a little sweeter and have a more intense flavor.

This was a great recipe! I used maple syrup instead of honey and it was still delicious. Sweet potatoes and pears are a great combination.
