Ingredients:

  • 4 cups water
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup orange honey or regular honey
  • 3 (3-inch) lemon rind strips
  • 3 whole cloves
  • 1 (1 1/2-inch) piece vanilla bean , split lengthwise
  • 12 fresh figs , each cut in half lengthwise
  • 8 mint sprigs (optional)

Directions:

  1. Peel and core the pears. Cut each pear in half lengthwise. Combine water and the next 4 ingredients (water through whole cloves) in a large nonaluminum saucepan. Scrape seeds from the vanilla bean, and add to sugar mixture; discard bean. Bring sugar mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Place pears, cut sides up, in pan; simmer 25 minutes or until tender. Remove pear halves with a slotted spoon, reserving the sugar mixture; place pear halves in a large shallow dish. Cover and chill.
  2. Bring sugar mixture to a boil; cook until reduced to 1 cup (about 30 minutes). Cool. Serve each pear half with 2 tablespoons sauce, 2 tablespoons raspberries, and 3 fig halves; garnish with a mint sprig, if desired.
