Baked Seasoned Pear

Makes 2 Servings

1 D’Anjou pear, cut in half, core but leave the stem on one side
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup orange juice
Cinnamon, to taste
Nutmeg, to taste
Cloves
Dried cranberries or Craisins

Preheat oven to 335°F. Place the sugar into the bottom of a Pyrex baking dish. Lay pears flat-side-down so they are sitting on top of the sugar. Place the butter on top of the pear halves. Pour orange juice over pears and sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and cranberries. Bake for 25 minutes until pear is tender and begins to brown. Serve hot pear and juice in a soup plate and sprinkle rim with cinnamon for garnish.
