Baked Pears (adapted from a similar recipe of Martha Stewart)
Serves 8-10

This is a wonderful desert to make for company. It is easy to make and it bakes while you are having dinner. With just a few ingredients it will surprise you how much your guests will like this.
I make it all the time and there is never any left over.
This is what I did.

1 tsp.clarified butter
1 tsp. Sucanat, dehydrated cane juice, looks and tastes like sugar.
5 pears, I like to use ripe ones.
1/3 cup heavy cream

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees

Spread the butter on the bottom of the baking dish. Sprinkle the Sucanat over the butter. Cut each pear in half, using a melon baller or spoon, remove the middle core. Place the pears flesh side down in the baking dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes until pears have softened but still firm. Open the oven and pour the cream around the pears. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes to cool.
