Oven Spiced Pears



This was my breakfast.  I wanted to make something autumn-ish, with pears and fast.  I came up with this mouthwatering treat.  Ginger syrup is what I used in this recipe, but honey would work also.

Oven Spiced Pears with Creamy Yogurt
Makes 2 halves of a pear

1 pear (I used a red anjou, but any type would work)
dash of ground cardamom
dash of  ground cloves
dash of ground cinnamon
dash of ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons raisins
drizzle of ginger syrup or honey
plain yogurt to top (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Wash and cut pear in half.  Using a melon-baller, scoop out the seeds.  Place in a greased dish.  Place raisins in the hollowed out holes.  Lightly dust pears with spices.  Next, drizzle the ginger syrup plus put some in the hole with the raisins.  Bake for about 10-15 minutes or until the pear is soft.  Serve warm and with a dollop of your favorite yogurt!

See, it's that easy.  Soon you will have a heartwarming breakfast or a light dessert!
