What a Pear

Dessert. With no sugar added. Spiced, baked pears with fresh squeezed orange juice. It’s from a category of delights I call, “half-baked.” Because yes, they’re baked. But I wouldn’t call this baking, really. I like to keep it simple, and not get crazy with the sugar. Enter, spiced baked pears. Any fruit will do, but the pears are a plenty right now. Ripe. Delicious. And begging to be devoured in all their glory. These beauties came to life like this:
ripe pears | juice of 1 or 2 oranges | cinnamon | nutmeg | ginger
Cut ’em in half. Coat ’em up. Bake ’em until you can fork ’em with no resistance. Because who wants to get back talk from their pears, really. No one I know, for sure.
