If these pears were a man, I’d marry him. They’re just the right amount of sweet, they're versatile, rich, beautifully browned, and they hit the spot.
I'm joking, but seriously, check out this recipe.
Ingredients
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Peel the pears and cut them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the cores, and rub the pears with the cut lemon wedge to prevent browning.
Melt the butter in an ovenproof skillet just large enough to hold the pears in a single layer.
Add the brown sugar and maple syrup to the skillet, and cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved.
Add the pears and turn them several times to coat with the syrup.
Then, arrange the pears, cut side down, in a single layer in the skillet and bake them for about 30 minutes, basting occasionally with pan juices, until just softened and golden.
Transfer the pears to a platter and keep warm.
If necessary, add a little water to the skillet to thin out the syrup. Remove it from heat and stir in the vanilla.
Pour the syrup over the pears and serve warm or at room temperature.
Serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or with plain/vanilla yogurt for breakfast The pears also taste delicious on oatmeal.
