Prepare the Pears
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the pears in half lengthwise and scoop out the core to create a hollow center.

Stuff the Pears

Bake the Pears
  1. Drizzle honey over the stuffed pears and cover the baking dish with foil.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the pears are tender and slightly caramelized.
Serve
  1. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Drizzle with additional honey if desired.
