Honey Glazed Pears

It’s finally fall here in Texas.  In fact, this morning I’m writing from the patio at my parent’s house where I’m enjoying cooler weather.  It’s the thing I miss most about living in Pennsylvania. 

Of course, with crisp cooler weather comes “fall food”.  Now, I know many people think “pumpkin” when fall recipes are mentions.  While my family likes pumpkin dishes and we make them, I prefer apple, pecan, cinnamon and pear recipes. 

Today, I’m sharing my Honey Glazed Pears recipe using a great new product, Tate+Lyle_® Honey Granules . 

It’s a blend of pure cane sugar and honey…that’s it.  You can actually read and understand the list of ingredients on the back.  It’s super easy to use and great for sprinkling the sweet taste of honey into tea and cereals but it can also be used in cooking.  It can be substituted for all or part of the sugar in a recipe and there’s even a conversion for substituting for regular honey.  

It’s deliciously sweet and remarkably, tastes just like honey but without the sticky mess.  I love honey but I will tell you, I’m the “queen of the sticky mess” when it comes to using anything liquid and sweet.  Seriously, it seems like all I have to do is look at the bottle and I’m a sticky mess.  Combine that with the fact that sticky hands dive me crazy and well….you get the picture.

This Honey Glazed Pears recipe uses only three ingredients….pears, butter and Honey Granules….. although my dad and I agreed adding a little cinnamon would have made them even better. (They just moved in and haven’t located the spice box yet)  Best of all, it’s one of those dishes that can be either a side or dessert! 

Here’s the Recipe:

• 4 pears
• 8 tsp butter or margarine
• 8 tsp Tate+Lyle_® Honey Granules
• Optional:  Cinnamon

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Cut pears in half lengthwise

Using a spoon or melon-baller, remove core from each half and place cut side up in an over proof baking dish

Top each pear with 1 tsp of butter or margarine

Sprinkle each with one tsp Honey Granules

Bake at 375 for about 30 minutes or until pears are tender

*Baking time will depend on type of pear used.  Firmer pears may take a little longer, softer a little less*

Serve warm or at room temperature

Drizzle each pear with a little of the baking syrup

Serve in a goblet for a “fancy” dessert

Perfect for breakfast, brunch, side or dessert!
