2 tablespoons butter, divided
2 tablespoons honey, divided
2 Bosc pears, halved and cored
½ cup heavy whipping cream
Optional: pinch of salt
Optional: cinnamon or vanilla for extra flavor
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
2. Wash, halve, and core 2 Bosc pears, then place skin-side down in prepared dish.
3. Place 1 tbsp divided butter and 1 tbsp divided honey into the cored wells of the fruit.
4. Drizzle remaining 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp honey over tops; sprinkle with optional salt, cinnamon, or vanilla if using.
5. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes until fruit is tender and easily pierced with a knife.

Use firm Bosc pears so they hold their shape during baking. Serve warm for the best temperature contrast with the cold cream.
