Recipe Ingredients

PEARS: You can use Bartlett or Bosc pears for this recipe. They should be ripe and soft. The skin is kept on for the recipe, so choose pears with little bruising and marks if possible.

SAUCE: The sauce is pretty simple to make. Brown sugar is mixed with lemon juice, honey and cinnamon and is drizzled overtop of sliced pears.

How To Make Baked Pears

  1. Mix the sauce ingredients in a bowl. Slice the pears in half, also scooping out the core and stem.
  2. Add pears to a casserole dish and drizzle the sauce overtop. Place them facing down and bake until almost tender. Flip them up and bake for 5 more minutes.
  3. Scoop more sauce over top of each pear just before serving.

Serve the pears warm with vanilla ice cream or whipping cream.

Leftover pears can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. They can be reheated in the microwave or stove.

Recipe Tips

  • Pears should be baked until tender when poked with a fork.
  • Use a metal measuring spoon to scoop out the inner core. Use a pairing knife to remove the pear stem.
  • Drizzle sauce over the pears while baking for more flavor. Save the extra sauce and drizzle overtop of the pears and vanilla ice cream before serving.
