Organic sourcing

Pears benefit most from being organic due to their presence on the EWG Dirty Dozen list, ensuring fewer pesticide residues.

Ingredients

• 4 ripe pears
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/4 cup runny honey
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Halve the pears lengthwise and remove the cores with a melon baller or small spoon.
3. Place the pear halves cut side up in a baking dish.
4. Drizzle the lemon juice over the pear halves.
5. In a small bowl, mix the walnuts with half of the honey and the cinnamon.
6. Spoon the walnut mixture into the hollowed centers of the pears.
7. Drizzle the remaining honey over the stuffed pears.
8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the pears are tender.
9. Serve warm, optionally drizzled with additional honey.

Notes

• Substitute almonds for walnuts if preferred.
• Use maple syrup in place of honey for a different flavor.
