Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180 C (350F,Gas 2)
  • Lightly butter a shallow baking dish.
  • Peel and halve the pears, removing the cores.
  • Place the pears flat side down in the dish.
  • Mix the cream, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, nutmeg and ginger together.
  • Pour the mixture over the pears and place in the pre-heated oven.
  • Bake for about half an hour or until the pears are soft and golden brown. Baste at intervals.

  • If the pears have a tough skin, the dessert will be nicer to eat if you peel them first.
  • When the pears are soft when pierced with a knife blade, they are ready to eat.
