fdu


List of Ingredients

1 x pear peeled, halved, and cored
1/2 cup mincemeat



Recipe

Scoop out meat from center of 2 pear halves. Chop meat to equal 1/4 cup. Place pear halves cut-side up in baking dish.

Combine chopped pear and mincemeat. Place 2 tablespoons filling in each pear half. Bake at 350 degrees until tender and bubbly, about 30 minutes.


This recipe yields 2 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.
