Ingredients
2 Asian pears, peeled and cored
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon honey
1 stalk lemon grass, halved
Directions
- Slice the pears in half. Coat with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- In a saucepot, add the sugar and water and bring to a boil to make a syrup. Reduce to a simmer and add the pear halves, cinnamon, nutmeg, honey, and lemon grass. Continue to cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until pears are tender, but not falling apart.
