Ingredients

  • 2 pears, halved
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • Vanilla ice cream scoop per pear half 
  • Crushed walnuts, toffee chuncks, candied pecans for topping

Instructions

STOVE TOP:

  • Pre-heat the ove to 350 degrees.  
  • In a small bowl, mix honey and cinnamon together until well combined.  Set aside.
  • Cut both pears in half.  Using a spoon, carefully core the middle pit of the pear.  Also, to help the pears cook flatten when cooking, I typically cut a very small sliver off the back of the pear to help in lay flat. 
  • With a spoon or brush, spread a small amount of the honey and cinnamon mixture across the top of each pear.  You may find that it seeps a bit into the middle of the pear which is ok.  
  • Place the pear halves on a baking pan and cook for 25-30 minutes depending on how soft you might like your pears. 
  • Once the cook time is up, allow the pears to cook for about 15 minutes.  
  • Once the pears cool a bit, serve with a scoop of ice cream and top with your favorite toppings.  We chose toffee crunch, walnuts and topped with the remaining honey cinnamon mixture.  Yum! 

INSTANT POT:

  • In a small bowl, mix honey and cinnamon together until well combined.  Set aside.
  • Cut both pears in half.  Using a spoon, carefully core the middle pit of the pear.  Also, to help the pears cook flatten when cooking, I typically cut a very small sliver off the back of the pear to help in lay flat.
  • With a spoon or brush, spread a small amount of the honey and cinnamon mixture across the top of each pear.  You may find that it seeps a bit into the middle of the pear which is ok.  
  • Add water to the bottom of the Instant Pot.  Place all 4 pear halves on a trivet then lower the trivet into the Pot. 
  • Place lid on the Instant Pot.  Select the ‘Pressure Cook’ function on high and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Once the timer beeps, quick release all pressure.  Carefully remove the lid. 
  • Remove the trivet from the Instant Pot and set on a surface where they can cool for about 15 minutes. 
  • Once the pears cool a bit, serve with a scoop of ice cream and top with your favorite toppings.  We chose toffee crunch, walnuts and topped with the remaining honey cinnamon mixture.  Yum!
