Ingredients You’ll Need
- 4 ripe pears (the juicier, the better)
- 1/4 cup honey (the golden elixir of sweetness)
- 1/2 cup walnuts (crushed, because we love a little crunch)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (for that warm, cozy hug in your mouth)
- 1 tablespoon butter (because butter makes everything better)
- 1/2 cup water (to help with the baking magic)
Instructions to Create Pear Perfection
- First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (or 175°C for our metric friends). We want it nice and toasty for our pears!
- While the oven warms up, grab those gorgeous pears. Cut them in half and scoop out the seeds. Think of it as giving them a spa treatment.
- Place the pear halves cut side up in a baking dish. This is where they’ll sit, relax, and develop some serious character!
- In a bowl, mix honey, crushed walnuts, cinnamon, and butter together like a sweet symphony. It should smell heavenly—don’t eat it all at once!
- Fill the pear halves with your honey-walnut mixture. It’s like gifting each pear a delicious little present!
- Pour the water into the baking dish around the pears. This helps create a steamy environment for our baking beauties.
- Cover the dish with foil and pop it in the oven for around 25 minutes. This is where the real magic happens; the pears get all soft and dreamy!
- After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until they’re golden and caramelized. Times up! Your kitchen should smell like a bakery heaven right about now!
- Once done, let them cool slightly, plate them up, and drizzle a bit more honey on top. And voilà! You have a dessert that’s not only a feast for the eyes but a ticket to flavor town!
And there you have it! Whole Baked Pears with Honey and Walnuts that will say ‘thank you’ to your taste buds while giving you brownie points in the kitchen game. Enjoy every scrumptious bite!
