Notes
- Ripe pears cook faster and are sweeter than firmer pears. If your pears aren't ripe, you may need to cook them a bit longer and/or add extra sweetener.
- Use a spoon or a melon baller to core your pears.
- Serve with ice cream, whipped cream, greek yogurt, chopped pecans or almonds, caramel sauce, etc.!
- Try to cut the pear halves as evenly as possible so they cook at the same rate.
