Equipment

  • Cast iron skillet or another ovenproof heavy-bottomed pan

Ingredients

  • 2 pears large and slightly underripe, Note 1
  • 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar good quality
  • 4 teaspoons runny honey or more to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F/ 200°C.
  • Cut pears: Halve and core the pears. Don't peel them.
    2 pears
  • Melt butter in the skillet or ovenproof pan.
    2 teaspoons unsalted butter
  • Cook on the stove: Add the pears, the cut side facing down, and saute them for two minutes on the stove.
  • Roast pears: Place the pan in the oven and roast the pears for 20 minutes.
  • Flip the pear halves and drizzle the balsamic vinegar on the pears. Continue roasting for a further 5 minutes.
    3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • Drizzle pears: Remove the pan from the oven, drizzle each pear with some honey, and let the pears rest for another few minutes.
    4 teaspoons runny honey
  • Serve warm with some of the pan juices and more honey, if you wish.

Notes

  1. Choice of pears: Make sure they are slightly underripe; they should not be soft, or the roasted pears will be mushy.
