- 4 ripe pears
- knob of butter
- ½ tsp mixed spice
- 2 tbsp clear honey

Make it Canadian
MAPLE & PECAN PEARS Heat 2 tbsp maple syrup
with butter instead of the honey, then toss with the
cornflakes and a handful chopped pecan nuts.
Top the pears with the cornflake mix, then bake
as before. Drizzle with some more maple syrup
to serve.
Method
-
Heat oven to 200C/fan 180/gas 6. Cut the pears in half lengthways, take out the core (see tip, left), then top with a small knob of butter and a sprinkling of the mixed spice. Sit the pears in a shallow baking dish, then roast for 5 mins until starting to soften. Meanwhile, heat the honey and another knob of butter in a large bowl in the microwave for 30 secs. Toss with the cornflakes and nuts.
-
Take the pears out of the oven, then top with the cornflake mix. Cook for another 5 mins or until the cornflakes take on a rich golden colour. Allow to cool for a few mins (the cornflakes crisp up again as they cool), then serve warm with ice cream.
