delectible baked pears
This is a plain and simple but very tasty recipe. You may also enjoy it with a little cinnamon or cloves, or any spice you like, sprinkled in the syrup -- but not too much. It is meant to be a delicate experience of the pears. The stem makes them look elegant in the dish with the cream... and also makes them easier to handle during preparation. This was one of my mom's personal favorites.
