GRILLED PEARS
Grilled Pears! Oh these are yummy! Try them as is or with some whipped cream, a drizzle of honey, a la mode the possibilities are endless! Add whatever special touch you like! I have tried these as they are with a garnish of fresh chopped mint and that was excellent too! Grill them on on the top rack while you are making the main dish in the bottom or add them to the grill after removing the main dish and cook while you are eating.

Steps:
- Prepare a medium-hot fire in a grill. Oil the grill rack. To make the sauce, in a bowl, combine the raspberries and honey. Mash the raspberries lightly with a fork and stir in the liqueur. Set aside. Cut the pears in half lengthwise and remove the cores. Squeeze the lemon over the cut sides of the pears to prevent browning. In a shallow bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon. Dip the cut sides of the pears in the cinnamon sugar. Grill the pears, cut side down, directly over medium-high heat until the fruit is grill-marked and the sugar is caramelized, 2 to 4 minutes. Do not allow the pears to char. Using a spatula, turn the pears over and grill until tender and heated through, 3 to 4 minutes. If the pears start to char, move them to a cooler part of the grill to cook. Serve the pears topped with the raspberry sauce and with a scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside. Serves 4. Serving Tip: Serve the grilled pears with a small glass of pear eau-de-vie, a clear fruit brandy. You could also use the eau-de-vie in the sauce in place of the orange liqueur, if you wish, and increase the honey to taste.
Tips:
- To ensure pears maintain their shape and texture, choose ripe but firm pears.
- For a more robust flavor, opt for sweet and ripe raspberries.
- If you prefer a sauce with a thicker consistency, simmer the mixture for a few minutes longer to reduce.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of powdered sugar in the sauce to suit your taste preferences.
- When grilling the pears, ensure to preheat the grill over medium heat to create those beautiful grill marks.
- To prevent the pears from sticking to the grill grates, grease them lightly with oil or non-stick spray.
- Be mindful of the cooking time as overcooking can make the pears mushy. Keep an eye on them to achieve the perfect tender-yet-firm texture.
