How to Make Baked Pears
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, orange juice, water, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Mix well.
- Place pear halves in a baking dish, cut side up.
- Spoon the brown sugar mixture evenly over the pears.
- Dot each pear half with small pieces of butter.
- Sprinkle with pecans or walnuts (optional).
- Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until pears are tender and the sauce is bubbly. Check for doneness by inserting a fork into the thickest part of a pear; it should easily pierce the fruit.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
