Ingredients
- 6 large Bosc, Comice or D’Anjou pears
- 1 1/2- to 3-inch piece of fresh ginger
- 5 cups apple or pear cider
- 8 ounces heavy whipping cream (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350º F.
Wash pears, do not peel and do not remove stems. Cut lengthwise. With a teaspoon, scoop out just the pith and seeds. If preferred, the 12 halves can be sliced again lengthwise, for 24 quartered pieces. Arrange pears, cut sides up, in a rectangular baking dish.
Grate unpeeled ginger onto a plate. Gather grated ginger, squeeze over pears and then scatter. Pour cider over pears, until they are nearly covered.
Cover the pan with foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove and let cool. Serve at room temperature.
If you like, whip cream to soft peaks and serve a dollop alongside the pears.
