How to Make Roasted Pears And Grapes

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In an 11x7 inch baking dish, place 1 pound of red grapes.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup Moscato d'Asti wine, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/4 cup apricot jam, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the Moscato mixture evenly over the grapes in the baking dish.
  5. Cut 4 ripe but firm pears lengthwise, removing the core and seeds.
  6. Arrange the pear halves, cut-side up, among the grapes in the baking dish.
  7. Bake uncovered for 45-60 minutes, or until the pears are tender and the liquid has reduced to a thick syrup.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes to allow the syrup to thicken further.
  9. Serve warm, drizzled with the remaining syrup. Garnish with extra grapes if desired.
