A healthy and delicious fruit dessert. I think I originally got this recipe from the Deaf Smith Country Cook Book. Time for cooking is very approximate (see recipe, step 8). Ingredients:
1 tablespoon arrowroot |
1 1/2 cups milk |
1 cinnamon stick |
2 grated lemons, zest of |
1/4 cup lemon juice |
1/2 cup honey |
6 fresh firm pears |
1/2 cup water |
4 -5 whole cloves |
Directions:
1. Make lemon sauce ahead of time: Dissolve arrowroot in a little milk; place in a saucepan with rest of milk and cinnamon stick.
2. Stir and cook over low heat, stirring, until slightly thickened.
3. Stir in lemon peel, lemon juice and 1/4 cup of the honey.
4. Remove from heat, remove and discard cinnamon stick, cover and place in refrigerator to chill.
5. Preheat oven to 350°F.
6. Halve and core pears; place in a glass baking dish.
7. In a small saucepan, bring 1/4 cup honey, water and cloves just to boiling point, but do not boil; pour over pears.
8. Bake until pears are fork-tender (time for this varies considerably depending on firmness of pears-really hard ones can take as much as an hour).
9. Remove and discard whole cloves.
10. Serve warm with chilled lemon sauce.
