So, somewhere along the way, I lost a whole day. I was trying to decided what kind of post to do today and thought that "What's For Dinner Wednesday" would be good. But guess what? Today is not Wednesday. Who knew? Anyhoo. This is one of our family's newest most fav-O-rite desserts. We have been getting a lot of pears from our food co-op lately. We have had this like 100 times in the last month. Well, maybe not 100, but pretty close. This is what I love about it. It's good. Dang good. It is the easiest thing ever to make. It's kinda fancy nancy if you are trying to impress. And it is totally healthy because the main ingredient is fruit. You pretty much have to eat it, for your health's sake!
This is what ya do. You take a pear. Cut it in half. Scoop out the seeds. I have a small melon baller and it works perfect for that job. Place the pears in a baking dish, put an oh-so-generous pat of real butter in the hole you just made with the melon baller or spoon. Sprinkle some brown sugar and chopped pecans on top. Then pop 'em in the oven 'til you can't stand the yummy smell any longer and you just have to devour them right there at that very moment. Sometimes I bake them at 350, sometimes, if we can't wait so long, 400. Whatever. It's not rocket science. But it is good. If you are in Texas, serve it with a scoop of Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla. If not, you can serve it with some other inferior brand of vanilla. My inferiority of choice is Bryers Natural Vanilla.
Here's Aubrey patiently waiting for me to take the picture so she can finally get at it.
And I must give credit where credit is due. Thanks goes to me mum, who is the one who first showed me how to make this little delight.

What kind of pear & how long in the oven? Looks yum, I love pears!
We have been getting several different kinds of pears and I have made it with them all. Maybe 20 minutes at 350. Until it looks done.
