Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pears (ripe but firm, such as Bosc or Anjou)
- 2 cups Seedless red or black grapes
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the pears and grapes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut each pear in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds using a spoon or melon baller. Optionally, trim the core and stem as needed.
In a small mixing bowl, combine honey, melted butter, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix well to form a basting mixture.
Place the pear halves, cut side up, in a large baking dish. Scatter the grapes around the pears.
Brush each pear half generously with the honey-butter mixture, ensuring even coating. Drizzle the remaining mixture over the grapes.
Place the baking dish in the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the pears are tender and the grapes are lightly caramelized. Baste the pears with the juices from the bottom of the dish halfway through cooking.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the fruit cool slightly. If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts over the top for added crunch.
Serve warm as a dessert with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, or as a side dish with roasted meats.
