Title: Pears Baked In Honey
Categories: Desserts
Yield: 12 Servings
12 Pears
1 lb Honey
1 Lemon; juice of
20 oz Water; or more
Preheat oven to 325?F (160?C).
Peel, halve, and core the pears, keeping them in water which you have
acidulated with half the lemon juice. Dissolve the honey in the
water, add the other half of the lemon juice and bring to the boil.
Transfer to an oven-proof dish or pan large enough to keep the pear
halves in one layer.
Add the drained pear halves and bring back to the boil. Immediately
transfer the dish to the oven and poach until the pears are really
tender. Remove with slotted spoon, boil down cooking liquor to a
syrup and pour over the pears. Leave to cool then chill. Serve with
the thickest cream you can find.
This recipe is traditional in my family and goes back at least
300 years.
