Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat a grill to medium heat.
  2. Cut pears in half lengthwise. Use a melon baller, remove the seeds and core. Brush the pears with orange juice and place on the grill cut side down. Let the pears cook until they are lightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.
  3. As the pears are cooking, place the gingerbread on the grill and lightly toast on each side. Remove the pears and the gingerbread from the grill.
  4. To assemble, place the toasted gingerbread on a plate. Slice the pears and arrange them on top of the gingerbread. Drizzle with caramel sauce and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.
  5. Gingerbread:
  6. 1/2 cup butter
  7. 1/2 cup sugar
  8. 1 egg, beaten
  9. 1 cup molasses
  10. 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  11. 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  12. 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  13. 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
  14. 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  15. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  16. 1 cup hot water
  17. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 2 loaf pans.
  18. Cream butter and sugar together in a large bowl. Beat in egg and molasses. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients and whisk until mixed. Add 1/3 of the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and mix. Add 1/3 of the hot water and mix. Continue alternating dry ingredients and water in thirds until all is incorporated.
  19. Pour the batter into prepared pans and bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  20. Caramel Sauce:
  21. 1 cup sugar
  22. 2 tablespoons water
  23. 1/4 cup butter
  24. 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  25. Combine sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the sugar is melted and takes on a dark golden color. Add the butter and cream and whisk until smooth. Be very careful not to splash yourself, caramel is extremely hot! Let cool about 30 minutes, until thickened.
