Honey-roast pears with orange blossom and yoghurt recipe

• 100 g (3.5oz) honey
• 1 lemon, juice and thinly peeled rind
• 1 orange, juice and thinly peeled rind
• 1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
• 4 pears, preferably South African Forelle pears, unpeeled, halved, cored
• 2 tsp orange-blossom water, or to taste
• 1 cup thick plain yoghurt
• 1 handful chopped pistachios

1. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
2. Simmer the honey, juices, rinds, vanilla bean and seeds in a small saucepan over a medium heat until reduced to a light syrup (8-10 minutes).
3. Place the pears, cut-side up in a roasting pan large enough to fit the pears snugly.
4. Pour over the honey mixture and roast, basting occasionally, until tender and beginning to caramelise (20-25 minutes).
5. Remove the pears from pan, stir through the orange-blossom water and serve the pears and syrup with yoghurt and pistachios.
