Balsamic Honey Roasted Pears (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 4 teaspoons smooth honey, plus a bit extra if you want
02 - 3 tablespoons fancy balsamic vinegar
03 - 2 teaspoons plain unsalted butter
04 - 2 big pears, a little firm, cut in half with the cores out but skins on

# Instructions:

01 - Set your oven to 200°C and let it get hot.
02 - Chop the pears in half and pull out the middles, but don’t peel them.
03 - Put butter in a sturdy frying pan or a cast iron skillet. Warm it up over medium heat.
04 - Lay pear halves with cut sides down into the pan. Cook for about 2 minutes.
05 - Pop the whole pan into the oven and let the pears bake for 20 minutes.
06 - Flip over the pears carefully and pour the balsamic all over them. Stick the pan back in for 5 more minutes.
07 - Take the pan out, pour honey over each pear half, and let them chill for a couple minutes.
08 - Eat them while they’re warm. Spoon the buttery syrup from the pan on top and go ahead, add more honey if you want.

# Notes:

01 - Pick pears that are just a bit firm. Overripe ones will get too mushy in the oven.
