Pears - Lemon Vanilla Baked
Submitted by Kay Carroll
Pre-heat regular oven at 375 degrees or cook in microwave.
Ingredients
- 2 medium pears - peeled, halved or quartered, and cored
- 1 tablespoon lemon (or lime) juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Preparation
- Stir together lemon juice and vanilla
- Coat peeled and cored pear pieces in lemon/vanilla.
- Arrange pear pieces, cut side up, in 9-inch pie plate.
- Pour remaining juice over pear pieces.
Regular oven: Bake, covered, in pre-heated 375 degree oven for 30-35 minutes or until pears are tender. Spoon any liquid in the plate over pears. Serve warm or cold.
Microwave oven: Cover pears with waxed paper. Micro-cook on 100% power (high) for 4-6 minutes or until pears are tender.
You can add toppings to the warm or cold pears. I've tried:
- semisweet chocolate pieces
- sprinkle nutmeg
- drizzle maple syrup
- vanilla yogurt
- vanilla ice cream
- raspberry jam
- wheat germ
- nuts
