RIESLING BAKED PEARS
So yummy. Pears oven baked and poached in a honey-wine sauce with cinnamon and orange flavors infused. The first time DH and I had this for dessert we were simply astounded at how these simple flavors combined to make such a rich and flavorful treat.

Steps:
- Tip: For the orange zest, scrub the orange first and then use a vegetable peeler to remove the strips of zest. Make sure to leave behind the bitter, white pith.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice a thin piece off the bottom of each pear so that it will sit flat, standing up straight.
- Arrange the pears in a pie pan or oven-proof small casserole dish.
- Whisk wine and honey in a medium bowl until blended. (I usually have to microwave mine to make the honey melt a bit so that they will combine.).
- Pour honey-wine mixture over pears and add cinnamon sticks, bay leaves and orange zest to the liquid.
- Roast the pears, basting every 15 minutes, until they are tender and a bit wrinkled (about 45 minutes to 1 hour).
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the pears to serving dishes. Put the honey-wine mixture into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil until slightly thickened, about 6 minutes. Drizzle over pears and garnish with cinnamon sticks and orange zest.
- Serve warm, at room temp, or chilled.
- Note: We sometimes put a small scoop of vanilla ice cream on this. Very rich and yummy. Another option: try cheese, such as ricotta or mascarpone -- sweeten cheese and stir it first.

PEAR TARTE - MEDIEVAL PEAR PIE
I have translated this from The English Huswife by Gervase Markham 1615 AD. It's unusual in that before this time pies were almost always made with a single crust while this one has two. Often a two crusted pie was called a coffin in that time period. Rosewater can be found in most healthfood stores or Middle Eastern groceries in the US.

Tips:
- Choose ripe but firm pears: Overripe pears will become too soft and mushy during baking, while unripe pears will be too hard and tart.
- Core the pears, but leave the stems intact: This will allow the pears to stand upright in the baking dish and make them easier to eat.
- Fill the pear cavities with your desired filling: Common fillings include honey, nuts, spices, and dried fruits.
- Bake the pears in a preheated oven: The baking time will vary depending on the size and ripeness of the pears, but it is typically around 30 minutes.
- Serve the pears warm or at room temperature: Baked pears can be enjoyed on their own or with a dollop of yogurt, cream, or ice cream.
