Bring the holiday spirit into your house with Florence’s Festive Poached Pears!

• 9 Whole Bosc Pears (firm)

• 1 cup Maple Syrup

• 1 cup Water

• 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350°.

Arrange pears standing up in a 10” glass pie pan.

Combine remaining ingredients and pour over pears, coating each fruit completely.

Bake pears for about 1 hour, while adding 1/4 cup of water to the syrup in the pan and then basting the fruit with the mixture every 15 minutes.

Pears are ready when they are golden brown and the flesh is soft.

As Florence says, “Easy peasy delicious!”
