Baked Pears with Coconut Spice Filling




Source of Recipe


fdu


List of Ingredients




2 x pears peeled, halved,
and cored
1/2 cup shredded coconut
2 tbl brown sugar - (packed)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon


Recipe



Place pears cut-side up in baking dish. Combine coconut, brown sugar and cinnamon. Place 2 tablespoons filling in each pear half. Bake at 350 degrees until tender and bubbly, about 30 minutes.

This recipe yields 4 servings.

Comments: The Times Test Kitchen used underripe Comice pears here (the round, greenish-yellow variety), which held their shape during cooking and produced a nice buttery flavor. Other good winter pears for baking include the Anjou, Bosc and Nelis varieties.
