Roasted Pears with Brown Sugar and Vanilla Ice Cream
Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis

Ingredients
1/3 cup apple juice
1/3 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 firm Bosc pears, peeled, halved, cored (about 1 pound)
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Arrange the pears cut side up in an 8-inch square glass baking dish. Whisk the
apple juice and sugar in a small heavy saucepan over medium-high heat until the

sugar dissolves. Whisk in the butter. Pour the sauce over the pears. Bake until
the pears are crisp-tender and beginning to brown, basting occasionally with the
juices, about 35 minutes.

Spoon the pears onto plates. Top with ice cream. Drizzle with any juices and
serve.

The pears can also be served frozen. To do so, cool the pears, then place them in
the freezer until frozen solid, about 8 hours.
