These pears, were my contribution to the sharing meal with Cathy and Nigel. So tasty and so easy. Serve warm. I decided on Greek yogurt with a dash of vanilla. A perfect end
Serves 6
Ingredients
6 ripe Comice pears
50 g unsalted butter, softened
100 gr dark brown sugar
175ml Marsala
50ml dry white wine
2 cinnamon sticks, roughly broken
Method
Preheat the oven to 180C gas4.
Cut a small slice from the rounded end of each pear so that it will stand up, then remove the core. Spread a little butter over the skin of each pear and stand them in an ovenproof dish.
Dust the pears with the brown sugar. Pour the Marsala and white wine into the dish. Scatter the cinnamon sticks over the pears, then cover the dish loosely with foil. Bake for about 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and lower the oven temperature to 300°F. Continue to bake for a further 30 minutes or until the pears are very tender and slightly shriveled.
Serve with their juices and Greek yogurt with a dash of vanilla.
