Very good, but I did change it a little. I forgot to put the honey on there (will definitely do that next time), but added cinnamon, ground vanilla, and brown sugar. I also just cut them in half and put a pat of butter in the hole of each pear. Served with homemade vanilla bean whipped cream! Delish!
OK loved this... I made my own lil creation. I did the pear like it stated melted 2 sticks of butter 1/2 cup of brown sugar and lil bit of white and a lil bit of real vanilla heated it up in the microwave. I used 12 pears I picked from the orchard yesterday each pear got 2 big spoon fills over each. put in the oven at 350 for 1/2 hr. Basted each with it's own sauce then mixed some fresh raspberries with some water and sugar in the blender and each got 2 spoon fills back in the oven for 30-45 min. OMG this was such a hit the whole apartment was like what's that and everyone wanted some but my biggest person to please is my 13 yr old child. HE LOVED IT ate 3 big pears once it was cut up....
This is tasty but I altered it substantially. I combined honey white wine ginger nutmeg cinnamon and a black tea bag and cooked until wine reduced. The added flavor of black tea gives a nice herbal quality to the dish.
My boyfriend and I enjoyed the pears but I felt the recipe was lacking. The pears were still crunchy after an hour and the specified amount of honey and butter didn't give enough syrup to continue basting it through the cooking. The flavor was nice but nothing too intense. The sauce that was left was REALLY good over ice cream and I'm going to try to make some kind of ginger cinnamon syrup for ice cream in the future. I may make this again because it tasted pretty good but only if I happen to have a few pears laying around. I wouldn't go out of my way to make this.
Everyone thought this was tasty. I used bartlett pears. There is no need to melt the butter in advance. I cut the pears in half and cored them and stuck the butter and brown sugar in the hole drizzled honey all over and liberally sprinkled both ginger and cinnamon. I cooked it covered for an hour and thought it turned out perfectly. Very juicy and the house smelled like honey during the cooking. MMMmmmm....:-)
I know it wasn't intended as a dessert but that's how we had it and it was great. My changes were to use fresh ginger because that's what we use in our house and I sprinkled some raw cashews on for a bit of crunch. The pears melted in our mouths for a sweet yet light finish. Thanks!
I added some cinnamon to the recipe. Delicious and made the house smell amazing!!!
This was very good and as it said very elegant. My family would have turned up their noses at the lavender flowers so I left them off. I couldn't find the pears it called for so I just regular ones.
Yum I loved this! I love pears and I've wanted to try this forever. I finally made it tonight but I didn't make four pears--only 2 bc bf just doesn't share my same love for pears. He likes them but isn't as enthusiastic. I had a little trouble coring the pear from the bottom--I broke the first one by trying to cut up too far but on the second one I had better luck. I just cut in a circle and removed the core with my fingers. Anyway I didn't bother melting the butter either and added more honey (didn't really measure just poured on). I added cinnamon as well. Baked perfectly in an hour. The syrup is definitely delicious and the pears were delicious with it. Bf and I shared a pear so we'll have the other one tomorrow. Thanks for the recipe!
