Ingredients

1. 0.25 tsp vanilla extract
2. 2 tbsp water
3. 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon
4. 0.25 tsp ground ginger
5. 0.25 tsp ground pepper
6. 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
7. 1 tbsp unsalted butter
8. 2 pears

Preparation instructions

1. Preheat oven to 190 Celsius. 2. To make pear fans: make 1/4-inch lengthwise slices along length of each half-pear, starting 1/3-inch from the stem end and cutting all the way down toward the rounded end. 3. Place butter in a 9-inch-square baking pan and melt on the stovetop. Add lemon juice, pepper, ginger, cinnamon and water to butter. Mix well. 4. Place pears in the pan, rounded sides up. Cover with aluminium foil and bake until pears are fork tender, about forty minutes, turning once halfway through baking time. 5. With a slotted spoon, transfer pear halves onto serving plates and carefully fan them out. 6. Stir vanilla into sauce in pan. Place pan on stovetop and cook to reduce slightly, about 1 minute. Spoon sauce over pears and serve warm.
