1/2lemon juiced
3tbspof unsalted butter
small handfull of pistachio'sroasted and chopped
Good vanilla icecream to serve
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200 C.
Clean the pears and arrange them into an ovendish or baking tray (I quarter the pears). Sprinkle with some of the lemonjuice to prevent from browning.
Put the pear juice, the sugar and the cinnamon together in a small saucepan over medium high heat and let the sugar dissolve, Add the butter and melt through the sauce. Pour the sauce over the pears and make sure they each have a bit of sauce on them before putting it in the oven.
Make sure you spoon a bit of the sauce on top of the pears regularly during the next 30 minutes or so or until the pears are done to your liking. Mine took 25 minutes.
Roast and chop your pistachio's. Make sure you prepare a plate for your pears and sprinkle the pistachio on top. You can eat the pears either warm or cold.
