Steps:
- Peel the pears, leaving the stems intact and dropping the pears as they are peeled into a bowl of cold water acidulated with the juice of the lemon. In a saucepan combine the wine, 2 cups water, the sugar, the zest, the cinnamon sticks, and the liqueur, bring the liquid to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, and simmer the syrup for 5 minutes. Arrange the pears, drained, on their sides in a baking dish just large enough to hold them in one layer and pour the syrup over them. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake the pears in the middle of a preheated 375°F. oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, turn the pears over gently, and replace the foil. Bake the pears for 20 to 30 minutes more, or until they are tender. Let the pears cool, transfer them carefully to a deep serving dish, and ladle the cooking syrup with the zest over them. Chill the pears, covered, overnight and serve them with some of the syrup.
Tips:
- Choose ripe but firm pears: Overripe pears will become mushy when baked, while unripe pears will be hard and tart.
- Use a variety of pears: Different varieties of pears have different flavors and textures, so using a mix will create a more interesting dish.
- Add spices and herbs: Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger can enhance the flavor of the pears. Herbs like rosemary and thyme can also add a nice touch.
- Don't overcook the pears: Pears should be tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked pears will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Serve pears warm or cold: Baked pears can be served warm or cold, depending on your preference. Serve them with a dollop of yogurt, ice cream, or whipped cream.
Conclusion:
Baked pears are a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed in many different ways. With their sweet and juicy flesh, pears are a perfect fruit for baking. Whether you choose to bake them whole, halved, or sliced, pears will always deliver a delightful flavor and texture.
