"Millions of Peaches, Peaches for me...."

 

Unfortunately this post isnt about Millions of Peaches, its about
Pears.

Its just when i think of Pears, i think of Peaches, and when i think of Peaches, i think of... Millions of Peaches, Peaches for Me!

The battery to my camera died last week and couldnt be revived by its charger, so i havent been able to take any good pictures for a
post, but i couldnt resist, so i apologise for the crap quality of
my camera phone pic, but dont be fooled, this recipe is AMAZING!!


Baked pears have been on my tongues list of things to crave for a while..


At the grocery shops the other day my phones technology gave me the
speedy information on what ingredients i need from google for a cooked pear desert recipe, and if you follow this recipe, your buds could be tantalised like mine were..


If i remember correctly (google remembers correctly)

You will need,

4 large firm pears
2 sticks of cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1 table spoon lemon juice
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cup of water

I think i used way more brown sugar then that... like maybe 1 and
1/3, but use how much you like, it will still be delicious at the
end.

Peel the top half of your pears, and cut a wedge in the middle of
the bottoms so they dont fall over in your pot!

Mix together your Cinnamon, Sugar, Water and Spices and pour over
your pears in the pot.

Boil on a medium to low heat with the lid on for 35 minutes, this
may take longer depending on the size of your pears but you can
basically tell by the softness of the pear, the softer, the better!

You need to baste the tops of your pears that are sticking out of
the water a few times, i got scared i was going to ruin them so i
poured spoonfulls of the syrup on the tops every 10 minutes..
probably not necessary to do that much, but it worked well for me!
Make sure you keep the lid on and eventually your pears will start
to soften.

Serve with a bit of your syrup poured over the top and whipped cream
was our garnish of choice.. ice cream would work as well, or if your
pears are sweet enough you can eat them on their own.

Your spoon should slice the side of your pear with ease, if it doesnt, dont worry, they will still taste amazing, just cook for longer next time!! Because there will definately be a next time with this recipe!!

P.S A LITTLE TIP.... the last three times i basted, i sprinkled normal sugar over the tops of my pears for extra sweetness.. and let the sugar melt on the tops of the pears... i think you definately need to do this!!!
