"Oh these were so good served with beef. I cut mine in half and served but serving whole would be so impressive! Cut into quarters, these pears would be so good with sausages. There are so many things you could serve this with, when you want to add a little sweetness to a main dish."

This is a very unique recipe. It is something good to have as a side dish with any kind of meat. I used D Anjou pears because that's all my small grocery store carried. I just cooked them a little longer.

5 star all the way. The blend of flavours is wonderful. I did cut my pears in half for ease of roasting. However I know the presentation would be really special if they were whole. It did not take away from the flavour. Because I cut them the roasting time could have been cut back a bit. Definately a do again recipe
