Baked Ginger Pears
Serves: 6
Throughout the fall, we work closely with a variety of Washington organic growers to pick the freshest, tree-ripened pears.
Ingredients
PreparationIngredients
- 6 large organic Bosc, Comice or D’Anjou pears Add to list
- 1 1/2- to 3-inch piece of ginger root Add to list
- 4 to 6 cups organic apple cider Add to list
Preparation
Wash pears, do not peel and do not remove stems. Cut lengthwise. With a teaspoon, scoop out just the pith and seeds — or leave as-is for a more rustic appearance. If preferred, the 12 halves can be sliced again lengthwise, for 24 quartered pieces.
Arrange pears, cut sides up in a baking dish. Grate unpeeled ginger root onto a plate.
Gather grated ginger, squeeze over pears and then scatter. Pour cider over pears, until they are nearly covered. Bake in a pre-heated 350° F oven for one hour. Remove and let cool. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
