Ingredients for Baked Pears With Raisins

  • 4 ripe but firm pears
  • 4 tablespoons raisins (about 1/4 cup)
  • Maple Syrup
  • 1 tablespoon butter

How to Make Baked Pears With Raisins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Wash and halve 4 ripe but firm pears lengthwise.
  3. Gently scoop out the core and stem of each pear half.
  4. Arrange pear halves in a baking dish.
  5. Fill the hollowed center of each pear with 1 tablespoon of raisins.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of ground cinnamon.
  7. Pour the syrup mixture evenly over the pears. Dot each pear with 1 teaspoon (1/6 of 1 tablespoon) of butter.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pears are tender and the syrup is bubbly.
  9. Serve warm. Optional: Top with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of chopped nuts.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
