Baked Pears with Cinnamon Sauce - by Sarah Taylor
This dessert recipe is great to make when you have a few pears available. Serve while the pears are still warm accompanied with vanilla ice cream and your mouth will water. Serves 2.
Ingredients
- 3 large pears, cored and halved
- 1/2 cup of orange juice
- 1 teaspoon of cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon of clove
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of water
- 1/4 cup of raisins
- 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
Cooking Instructions
Prepare the pears by removing cores and cutting them in halves.
Put the pear halves face down in an oven baking dish.
Combine the orange juice, water, cornstarch, cinnamon, cloves, and sugar in a mixing bowl and whisk well.
Pour the liquid over the pears and sprinkle over the raisins.
Cover the pears with foil and bake in a 425 ° F (220 ° C) temperature oven for about 20 minutes, or until the pears are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and drizzle over any of the juices at the bottom of the baking dish.
Sprinkle over the brown sugar and transfer back into the oven for a few minutes to caramelize the sugar.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately with vanilla ice cream on top. Pour over any remaining juices which you may have.
