Method
- Preheat your oven to 350℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the pears in half lengthwise, and use a small spoon or melon baller to scrape out a hole in the center of each half.
- Arrange the pears cut-side up on the baking sheet and drizzle the honey over them, then rub it in slightly.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon and ginger over the pears, and fill the holes with chopped pecans.
- Bake until fork-tender, about 20-30 minutes.
- Let the pears cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. They are great cold or reheated.
- Freezing: You can freeze baked pears, but they may lose some texture. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap before placing them in a freezer bag.
- Pairing: Serve these with a dollop of Greek yogurt for a refreshing contrast.
- Presentation: Drizzle some of the leftover honey from the baking sheet over the pears before serving for added shine and flavor.
- Spice Variations: Feel free to play with spices—add a pinch of nutmeg or cloves for a seasonal twist.
- Serving Size: This recipe serves four, but you can easily double it for larger gatherings.
