Ina’s Tip

We used just ripe pink Forelle pears. If you use a harder crunchy pear the baking time will be longer, on the other hand very ripe pears will need a shorter baking time. The pears are also delicious served cold.

Method:

Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat oven to 180 °C.

Pack the halved pears in an ovenproof dish, rounded sides up.

Sprinkle with sugar and liqueur.

Bake uncovered for 35 - 40 minutes, turn the pears over after 30 minutes.

Serve warm with Lemon and Yoghurt Ice Cream, topped with Brown Bread Praline.
