US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F (177° C)
  • Cut pears in half and then scoop out the core. If pears are very round, cut a thin slice off of the backside of half so that it will lay flatly with the cored side facing up.
  • Place core halves onto a baking sheet. Divide the cranberries and almonds between the four pear halves.
  • Evenly sprinkle a tiny pinch of each spice onto each pear half. Drizzle ½ tsp. honey over each pear half.
  • Put pan in oven and bake for about 25 minutes. Remove from oven and serve while warm either plain or with vanilla ice cream or vanilla yogurt.
