Ginger Baked Pear

1. 01

   Preheat Oven

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. 02

   Mix Glaze

   In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, coconut oil, ginger powder, and lemon juice until well combined.
3. 03

   Prepare Pears

   Peel the pears. If they don't stand upright on their own, carefully slice a thin piece off the bottom to create a flat base.
4. 04

   Glaze Pears

   Using your hands, a spoon, or a brush, coat the peeled pears with about one-quarter of the honey-ginger mixture. A thin layer is all you need for this initial coating.
5. 05

   Bake Pears

   Line a baking tray with aluminum foil, then arrange the glazed pears on top. Bake for 1 hour.
6. 06

   Baste and Finish Baking

   After the pears have baked for 15 minutes, spoon a little more of the honey-ginger mixture over each one. Repeat this basting after another 15 minutes (so, 30 minutes total baking time has passed).

   Continue baking for the remaining 30 minutes, until the pears are very soft and yield easily when poked, or can be cut with a spoon.

   Serve with Remaining Glaze

   Keep any leftover honey-ginger mixture to spoon over the warm baked pears before serving.
