Bourbon Roasted Pears
Prep time: 8 mins
Cook time: 40 mins
Total time: 48 mins
Ingredients
4 medium pears, peeled
¼ cup bourbon (I recommend Makers Mark for gluten free)
2 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons butter or coconut oil
5 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ cup chopped toasted pecans for serving *see notes*
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Slice your pears in half and leave the stem in if possible. With a melon baller or teaspoon measurer scoop out the core.
Place the bourbon, water, butter (or coconut oil), honey, lemon juice, and cinnamon, in a 9x13 baking pan. Stir it around to make sure the ingredients are properly mixed. Place the pears cut side down in the bourbon mixture.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, basting the pears every 10 minutes, until the sauce in the bottom has reduced to a syrup.
Remove and serve the pears with whatever you like (by itself, ice cream, yogurt, mascarpone, whipped cream, the sky is the limit). Top each half of a pear with the syrup and some of toasted pecans.
Notes
You can toast the pecans by putting them in a dry pan over medium heat. Toast stirring often to prevent burning, until light golden brown and fragrant. Transfer to a plate to cool.
Don't worry about melting your butter or coconut oil, it will melt when it goes in the oven.
Its very good, but I disagree with the cooking time. (Because I took it out after the 40 minutes, and the pears I had were still a bit crunchy.) Needs to be cooked for an hour, and then you'll be good.
Other than that, enjoy with vanilla bean ice cream (because plain vanilla is just...well...plain :p)
Enjoy!

Mmm! Pears were this wuff's fav fruit as a cub. Couldn't get enough of those.
What a wonderful way to feature them.
If you were in a real hurry, you could probably poach them in a pressure cooker for a few minutes with the sauce and perhaps a bit of extra water if your PC needs it. Then reduce the juices in a small sauce pan to turn it into a syrup while the pears cool to edible temperatures, and drizzle the sauce over the result when serving. Top it all with the toasted pecans.
Would probably only need around 8-10 minutes at pressure for that.
But this definitely looks delish! And an hour in the oven isn't that long to wait, unless you're in a REAL hurry.
YUM

Amazon seems to have a pretty decent selection for under 100, and a few with extra features for another 20-40. They're certainly handy and versatile. Wuff picked up one for the office a while back, and has created a few nice goodies there under rather limited conditions.
