Baked Pears With Ice Cream
- 2 firm pears
- Juice of half a lemon
- 1/2 cup apple juice
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 4 small scoops vanilla ice cream, for serving
- 1. Preheat the oven to 375u0b0F.
- 2. Peel the pears with a vegetable peeler. Cut them in half lengthwise, leaving the stems on two of the halves if possible, and remove cores with a small melon baller. Place in an 8x8-inch baking pan, cut-side down.
- 3. Combine the lemon juice, apple juice, water, and brown sugar; pour over the pears. Set the pan over medium heat and bring the juices to a boil. Cover the pan with aluminum foil. Bake for 40 minutes (basting after 15 minutes), or until the pears are tender when tested with a toothpick.
- 4. Chill the pears overnight in the refrigerator, covered with the cooking syrup. Serve in four small dessert bowls to fit, cored-side up, with a small scoop of ice cream in the center of each. Spoon a little of the syrup into each bowl.
