This was absolutely delicious. I do not know why, but this recipe called to me to be poured over vanilla ice cream a la banana foster. I am so glad that I did. Although I did not change the recipe any, I did use an apple corer to core the pears (easier in my opinion). This also sliced them. One thing I would recommend though is use either less sugar or unsweetened orange juice. Otherwise it will be very sweet. All in all, a wonderful treat.
Taste was nice but pears fell apart. I could not core a pear without cutting it in half so my pear did not look anything like the photograph. Would not try this for guests without testing it ahead of time.. I won't make this again.
This was delicious. On the suggestion of another reviewer I used much less sugar - half quantities. I was also skeptical about the amount of vanilla extract - I've never used a recipe that called for TABLESPOONS rather than teaspoons of vanilla. So I used half quantity but on tasting the juice decided to add the other half. What a difference it made! The extra vanilla really balanced the cinammon. I would recommend preparing the recipe the night before serving because the pear flavor really comes through. If you are a ginger lover add some chopped crystallized ginger. It really complements the other flavors. Definitely a winning recipe!
A wonderful autumn dish and so simple to make.
I quartered and cored the pears before cooking. They were so delicious on their own but I also ate some with my morning oatmeal with a little of the syrup drizzled over. They would be awesome over waffles pancakes or ice cream too! The tablespoon of vanilla really comes through in the final taste and your house will smell great while the pears cook.
This is so simple and yet elegant. Wonderful flavor would make a nice company meal dessert served in champaine glasses. I will make again.
oh my goodness...by far the best dessert ive made yet and the kids LOVED it! ( the only thing i changed was the oj..i didnt have the real thing so i used sunny D lol and it still tastes fabulous! )
I have never bothered to rate a recipe before but this was so good I couldn't resist. I didn't have brown sugar so I substituted a random amount of honey. This was spectacular.
The amount of sugar is too much for me. I suggest reducing the sugar. As written the sugar masks the natural sweetness of the orange and pears. I made these into little Halloween rats for fun. Thank you for the recipe.
