Baked Pears With Raspberry Sauce

• 2 tablespoons butter cut into pieces
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 4 bartlett pears firm, ripe, about 1 1/2 pounds, peeled, halved, and cored, stems left intact
• 3 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 cup frozen raspberries thawed and drained

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In an ovenproof skillet, combine butter, sugar, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. Add pears, cut side down; cover with foil. Bake, turning pears over halfway through, until tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, about 25 minutes.
2. Lift pear halves with a slotted spoon, allowing any juices to drip back into skillet, and divide among four serving plates. Bring liquid in skillet to a boil over medium heat. Add cream; cook until slightly thickened, 1 minute. Stir in raspberries. Spoon sauce over pears; serve.
