  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Core and halve 2 ripe but firm pears.
  3. Place pears face down in a greased 8x8 inch baking dish.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together ½ cup orange juice, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons water until smooth.
  5. Pour the orange mixture evenly over the pears.
  6. Sprinkle ½ cup raisins over the pears.
  7. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.

  9. Remove from oven and carefully uncover.
  10. Using a spoon, baste the pears with the accumulated sauce from the bottom of the pan.
  11. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons brown sugar over the pears.
  12. Turn on the oven's broiler and broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the brown sugar is caramelized and pears are lightly browned on top. Watch closely to prevent burning.
